I found Scott Christensen's pallette interesting. He uses the three primaries, plus white, plus several grays.
Some of his grays are bought as is. Others he mixes and puts into tubes himself. He has cool, warm, and "ochre" grays. He says that most of the colors you mix will be some variation of gray anyway. It can take a long time to mix them from pure colors, so why not start with grays and bend them with one or more primaries?
He says he can't tell the difference between the paintings he did with a full pallete and his more recent ones with his gray pallette.
He's a landscape painter. Not portrait.
