# Palette

25/01/10 - Lot of opinions here. I used to have a nice off the hip understanding and feel for the palette via professors, instructors, others, study & practice. It's been twenty five years and I just found myself googling the difference between ivory and lamp black so I'm just going to note reference palettes and preferences here. 

My favorite painting instructor from college had me on the only palette I ever really knew. I don't remember exactly what it was but I still have the old tubes of paint. 


primarily these:
- cadmium red 
- cadmium yellow
- ultramarine 
- burnt umber
- yellow ochre
- white

bigger:
- titanium white ⚪️
- titanium buff
- naples yellow
- cadmium yellow 🟡
- yellow orchre
- raw sienna 
- vermillion
- venetian rouge
- cadmium red 🔴

- alizarin crimson
- ultramarine
- cerulean
- cobalt blue 🔵
