I am and have been since studying with Marvin Mattelson - still using his simplified palette of terra rosa, indian red, yellow ochre pale, yellow ochre, ivory black and raw umber. I use flake white #2 also. I am continuously amazed that I stick with this palette and find every skin value I could possibly need as well as intensity and color while using this palette for skintones. I may add colors for fabrics, furniture, etc. but rarely have to add many.
I have said it many times - but one more time is never enough - thanks to Marvin - I have confidence in what I am painting and am selling my work as a result.
After all - Marvin did all the homework for me - so the least I can do is thank him many times over - and this is very sincere!
