For my students - when starting out, remember to try to only use 3 colours per painting, and don't mix warms with cools (mixing cools & warms creates muddy colours.)
In order by hue: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, brown.
Warm: Cadmium Red, Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Yellow, Gamboge, Sap Green, Emerald Green, Cobalt Blue, and Pthalo Blue, Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna, Burnt Sienna.
Cool: Alizarin Crimson (my favourite), Permanent Rose, Dioxaxine Violet, Yellow Ochre (it's actually a cool orange), Lemon Yellow, Cadmium Yellow Light, Raw Umber, Pthalo Green (or Viridian), Cerulean Blue, Prussian Blue, Payne's Grey, Raw Umber
Ultramarine Blue's place is argued by many artists. Next to Phthalo (Intense) Blue, Ultramarine is definitely cool. So I keep it in my cool pallet.
