1) Business Color Palette - should be already know.

If someone in the company created their logo[s], then there should be a 
record of those colors. If someone created their web site, there should 
be a record of those colors. How about Business Cards, Fliers, 
Brochures, Banners, and any other document type, are part of the market 
branding.  Many times the colors in their palette are already 
documented, or at least should be.

Go to LibreOffice's Wiki page on marketing and branding.  That page has 
a lot information about what colors and images are proper to use.  This 
type of information should be part of the business's marketing documents.


2)  Creating a color palette SOC file.

I am not a "good typist", but if I had a small list of colors - under 20 
- including the name and color code, it could take less than 10 minutes 
by using a small pre-made color palette as the template.  If a person 
has a sheet of instructions, it could be just as easy for them.

With the list of colors in LibreOffice's branding color list, it should 
take very little time to make a new color palette file. Even with my 
typing skills, it should not take even 20 or 30 minutes for the entire 
process.

3)  No need to hire.

SO, it does not need to hire someone to create the color palette. It 
could be as easy as a 1 page instructional document, a small palette 
template file, using Writer or text editor, a list of colors used, and a 
good typist.

Am I laboring under the delusion, that it can be very easy to do and 
does not need hired help?  I do not think so.
