vermillion (possibly Michael Harding but is sooo expensive)
french ultramarine
viridian (I know it's green not blue, but works as a blue to neutralize)
titanium white

Remember though, it's not what you use but how.

Ilaria,
Thank you for your kindness in sharing your palette with me. I PROMISE not to challlenge you to a duel of the palettes. I especially enjoy the strength of colors in the shadow side of the faces as I am working on a group portrait with many of the same colors - especially the background. Does your mentor use the same palette?
