Hmm, that's an interesting palette, James, and one which would work for anyone studying how to mix colors.

For actual work on a painting, I have found it wise to eliminate squeezing out any colors that will not be used. Color is so difficult to deal with that I have found it best to simplify. Thus, a portrait palette (for flesh tones) will seldom have green in it and almost nver any blue.

I also prefer to work with a set palette on which the individual mixtures have been divided according to Value.
