It should be in your own Library folder, so I'd guess that the Migration assistants would take care of that.

If you want to find the palette by hand, look in your own Library folder (in your account) and you'll find some folders for ColorPickers and Colors.

The items in the Colors folder are the lists of colors that you created in the +Color Panel+ by naming the colors yourself in the +Color Palettes+ interface. There's also one in there for the swatches of colors that you saved at the bottom of the +Color Panel+.

The ColorPickers are actually different interfaces that show up in the +Color Panel+ for creating colors, such as the +Color Palettes+ interface.

Anyways, that's where they are saved. I'm guessing you are probably trying to transfer the colors, and not the pickers. But either way, it's all there.
