Basically yes, but I think this can be done better. You render but do 
not output with getPaletteFields(). Caching the result may be tricky and 
an overkill. But you could at least split the function up, so that one 
part creates only the (internal) $palParts. You can use then 
count($palParts) instead of trim($paletteContent). So we don't have to 
intoTemplate() if we don't need to.
