Just a quick follow-up for anyone who might pull this up in a search later on, which is something I do quite often.

After much trial, error, and a hundred questions asked and answered, and making enough color and value charts to paper the White House, I have finally settled on a palette that is actually larger than what I started with. I don't use all these colors at once, of course. And if anyone has seen my stuff you'll notice I never have more than one predominate hue per painting - usually an earth color. But in order to feel comfortable that I can mix absolutely anything here's what I'm now using (Rembrandt Artist):

Cadmium Yellow Light
Cadmium Orange
Cadmium Red Light
Permanent Madder Deep (Alizarin)
Ultramarine
Pthalo Blue - Green Shade
Viridian
Stil De Grain
Yellow Ochre
Raw Sienna
Burnt Sienna
Burnt Umber
Raw Umber
Titanium White
Flake White (Grumbacher)
Ivory Black

You've all been most gracious, and I truly appreciate your taking the time to reply.

BTW ... Khaimraj, I just figured out who you are. Thanks for all your help over the past year!
