Linda,

I was going to suggest the Mysterious Fayum Portraits. The colours used were white, earth yellow, earth red and an organic black (which functioned as an imperfect blue), this was the standard for a very long time.

I also wanted to ask, just from how far,were the painters responding to this discussion viewing the faces they were painting. From life?
