Well, i guess I'll jump in and add my two cents....

Artists find what palette works for them through trial and error, workshops, classes, books, etc.

If you find that people are afraid to admit to using Sanden's colors, it might be because they feel that they are admitting that they don't know how to mix colors on their own. Others might feel that it smacks of a "formulaic" approach. Maybe so - but certain "great masters" also had their formulas - in other words, they found a general approach that worked for them, in order to speed up production. In my opinion, from viewing Sanden's videos, he premixes his colors to speed up his painting process. A purely practical matter. If an artist likes the way he arranges his colors and choose to buy their paint premixed from him in order to save time, what's the shame in that?
