I use something like the Paxton palette, I guess, though not through any specific intention. I have just always gravitated to having about 12 to 15 colors on my palette. It seems like a comfortable array. The core colors are like the Paxton ones, more or less, with a few additions now and then depending on my subject.
Tony Ryder, who uses 42 colors on his palette at last count, does it for convenience and time savings. He talks about why people buy grocery items like mustard rather than buying the various ingredients and combining them at home to make their own mustard. It saves time.
I put my palette in the freezer at the end of the day and the only one that dries up faster than I can use it is burnt umber. Then again, I paint every day and use up quite a bit of paint in a week.
