Is there a method with Pages (v12.2.1) where only a palette of CMYK colors are shown so that sending it to a printer will be accurate?
I hope I said that correctly. I'm basically trying to make some colorful flyers that will be sent to a printer, and I want the colors I choose to be closer to what they can actually print. Thank you.

No. You can painstakingly set everything to CMYK and when you save the Pages document or export to PDF, the CMYK gets converted to RGB. If that professional printer requires PDF/X-3 PDFs, that eliminates PDFs created from Pages, or any other Apple application.
Pages is not the professional tool that Affinity Publisher, Adobe InDesign, or Quark represent, where you have full control over CMYK production in the finished documents. Affinity offers a free trial from their website and it is not a subscription, or pricey product for its strengths.

Thanks, Viking. I figured this. Ok, on to Affinity Publisher! (had just purchased v2, so it's time to learn it)
Build Pages files only with CMYK colors?
