Thanks Jane and David, now you have me feeling speechless!

Here's the essential colors that were used on my palette; of course some were more necessary than others, but I think I needed them all. The surprising thing is when colors like Burnt Umber, and Caput Mortuum appear way too light in value, out of the tube, and have to be fortified and darkened! That happened a lot in this painting.

Corresponding with the photo, first row:
1. W&N Cadmium Orange (very old)
2. Vasari Cadmium-Vermilion Red Light
3. Mussini Kadmiumrotton (no cadmium but a great replacement for cadmium red deep, and it's more versatile)
4. Old Holland Vleesoker (fortified flesh ochre)
5. Vasari Terra Rosa
6. Vasari Caput Mortuum
7. Vasari Burnt Sienna
8. Vasari Capuchine Red Deep (essential!)
9. Vasari Alizarin Crimson
10. Gamblin Dioxinine Purple (to darken the Capuchine Red Deep)
11. Vasari Ultramarine Blue ( for further darkening the above combination to black)
12. Vasari Vandyke Brown (this is really dark)
Next row:
13. Vasari Genuine Naples Yellow Light (the brightest highlight in the flag tassle at the top)
14. Vasari Tuscan Yellow (Chrome Titanate PBr-24)
15. W&N Indian Yellow
16. Vasari Naples Orange (Chrome Titanate PBr-24)
17. Vasari Capuchine Red Light
18. Vasari Brown Ochre Light
19. Vasari Burnt Umber
20. Norma Raw Umber Greenish
21.W&N Sap Green
22. Blockx Cadmium Green Pale
23. Vasari Ivory Black
Bottom row:
24. Vasari Flake White
25. Vasari King's Blue Light
26. Gamblin Indanthrone Blue
27. Vasari Cerulean Blue
28. Blockx Turquoise Green.

Hope this helps!
