Thank you Linda, Alexandra, Marina and Grethe!

I use an extended palette... right now I have 64 tube colors squeezed out, plus white. I usually use only titanium white, although there is zinc and lead in some of the lighter tube colors I use.

Here are some colors I generally find useful in skintones:

shadows: alizarin crimson, cadmium red deep, cad red purple, viridian green, cerulean blue, dioxazine violet

dark light: kings blue, violet grey (old holland or holbein), ultramarine violet, cad red light, Holbein coral red (very useful), brilliant pink (old holland or holbein), Holbein rose grey, Old Holland deep ochre, Holbein yellow grey, raw sienna

light: Winsor Newton jaune brilliant, jaune brilliant rouge (can't remember brand), Gamblin radiant violet (very light tint of I think dioxazine), Vasari rosebud (I think this is a very light tint of their permanent bright red), naples yellows, Gamblin radiant magenta, cobalt violet light, cadmium lemon, titanium white
