The following example uses drop-down menus to change the color palette and its extension mode:

<div class="flex-container">
    <DxPieChart Data="@GetData()"
                Width="400"
                InnerDiameter="0.5"
                Palette="@CurrentColors"
                PaletteExtensionMode="@CurrentPaletteMode">
        <DxChartLegend Visible="false" />
        <DxPieChartSeries ArgumentField="@((DataPoint s) => s.Argument)"
                          ValueField="@((DataPoint s) => s.Value)" />
    </DxPieChart>
    <div class="palette-container">
        @foreach (var color in CurrentColors) {
            <div class="palette-item" style="background-color: @color"></div>
        }
    </div>
</div>

@code {
    public enum Palettes {
        Material,
        Bootstrap,
        Tailwind
    }
    Dictionary<Palettes, string[]> Colors = new Dictionary<Palettes, string[]>() {
        { Palettes.Material, new string[] { "#1db2f5", "#f5564a", "#97c95c", "#ffc720", "#eb3573", "#a63db8" } },
        { Palettes.Bootstrap, new string[] { "#0d6efd", "#6c757d", "#28a745", "#dc3545", "#ffc107", "#17a2b8" } },

    };
    string[] CurrentColors;
    Palettes currentPalette = Palettes.Material;
    Palettes CurrentPalette {
        get => currentPalette;
        set {
            CurrentColors = Colors[value];
            currentPalette = value;
        }
    }
    ChartPaletteExtensionMode CurrentPaletteMode = ChartPaletteExtensionMode.Alternate;
    List<DataPoint> GetData() {
        List<DataPoint> result = new List<DataPoint>();
        for(var i = 0; i < 20; i++) {
            result.Add(new DataPoint($"Item{i}", 1));
        }
        return result;
    }
    public class DataPoint {
        public string Argument { get; set; }
        public int Value { get; set; }
        public DataPoint(string argument, int value) {
            Argument = argument;
            Value = value;
        }
    }
    protected override void OnInitialized() {
        CurrentColors = Colors[currentPalette];
    }
}
