Where do I find the Paxton Palette?

I assume you mean the exact colors and not the actual piece of wood?
I've heard numerous variations but I got the skinny from James Childs who studied with Ives Gammel a student of Paxton's.
Flake White, Ivory Black, Raw Umber, Light Red (varies by brand), Indian Red, Alizarin Crimson, Yellow Ochre, Ultramarine Blue, Viridian, Burnt Sienna, Naples Yellow Light, Vermilian and Cerulean Blue.
The reason I use Flake is because Paxton used it. I assume he used it for the following reasons: it allows for the creation of more luminous skin tones because of it's translucency; the lead content makes a far superior paint film; it doesn't cause hue shifts like the more bluish whites and it makes for faster drying times.
