I have one more point to clarify here...

The terms warm and cool are relative to the surrounding color, i.e., a daub of "yellow x" might appear cool and the very same color placed in another spot may be seen as "warm."

In my palette, "Winsor-Newton's yellow ochre pale" is my warm yellow. And "Winsor-Newton's yellow ochre" is my cool color.

I don't buy green paint, I mix it to get natural greens...these are the two that I use most often: Cad. Orange mixed with Prussian Blue, and Yellow Ochre Pale mixed with Ivory Black."
