Complete Palette (theoretical)

Complete palette (theoretical)

Note that we never ever use all these hues in one painting. Rather we start with the basic palette and add others only if we can't mix them with a high enough chroma.

And, since most colours in paintings (and real life) are not high chroma, our Basic palette will do the job 90% of the time.
