Basic Palette

Basic Palette

Our basic palette has 4 colours and is adequate for about 90% of our painting:

1. Primary: Red
2. Primary: Yellow
3. Primary: Blue
4. Tertiary: Yellow Ochre
5. White (We don't count white as a colour. It is rarely used alone, and most often functions as a modifier of other colours).
