I know what you mean about the delicate balance between unity and a limited palette. The same problems of course occur when painting waterscapes, another highly reflective situation.
This palette I find very useful for driving around and knocking off quick, small pochades. A sketchbook and pen are always part of my arsenal because I don't always have the color I need when traveling this light. The sketchbook contains about 50% writing to 50% drawing notes. Then when I return to the studio, I can flesh out any color notes while the visual memory is still fresh.
When you're traveling light, what essential palette do you carry with you? This question is of course addressed to everyone.
