Linda,
The cobalt violet is delicious!
I think palettes have become a cult thing.
I love to slurp around in color. If I think that Petunia Lake is just the think, I will buy it. Color is so emotional, you have to feel it. There are theories and some good general rules, but once learned like dance steps, they should become automatic.
Mix the raw umber half with black and make a series of 8- 9 greys. It is great for whites. You can warm it or cool it by adding yellow ochre or blue. Alexa's blouse in WIPs was done that way. I used a mixture of the background blue to bring it toward the cool.
The viridian is fabulous as well!
Micheal Harding is the best paint maker on the planet! You have to be very careful tho', his colors are so intense, you don't need much.
