Rob,
I have a book that talks about various portrait artists palettes around the turn of the century. All of these painters were top-notch and all the palettes were different.
There was the impressionists edict about not using black. Sargent wondered out loud about not being able to make form without it.
Some people use complementary color to control the chroma, I use black.
Color is emotional, the more you work with it the more you feel it. You can't reason with it.
That is why I am so glad to see that you have really used color so well in these skin-tones. Lovely.
