These 18 colors are a very complete oil, acrylic and water color palettes, not every one is used every time. Some of these colors can be replaced internally.
Because or for instance, Gamboge, Thalo Blue and Quinacridone Magenta will make a dark, so you can paint a complete painting with only three oil based paints. Acrylics have new colors, Acra Gold quinacridone, is a dual-toned brown to yellow that transforms through a burnt sienna color, this color is simular to O.H.'s Indian Yellow Brown Lake Extra side and makes a fair acrylic triad. Acra Red-Orange is a transparent quinacridone, is a transparent red oxide color that mixes into a neutral dark with ultramarine blue.

Warm Magenta plus Thalo Green make the perfect Neutral Dark for the foreground.
Ultramarine Blue plus Burnt Umber make another perfect neutral, it has a big range of warm and colors on each side of neutral. Red turns to a burnt umber color as it gets darker, passing through red oxide.
The coolest dark triad on the palette mixes Thalo Blue with Cadmium Red Medium, a perfect dark to light, neutral gray. This mixture has a very short range of neutral
however because of the opaque red.
Purple and Orange will make an opaque Burnt Sienna.
Cadmium Orange, Cadmium Red Medium and Bt. Sienna will make a good
opaque Venetian Red.
Cadmium Lemon Yellow and Bt. Sienna will make Yellow Ocher.
Ultramarine Blue and Bt. Sienna will make Bt. Umber.
Cobalt Violet Light Phosphate, [Cool Magenta], and Thalo Blue will
make Violet, Purple, Ultramarine Blue, or Azure. Azure will tint
to Cobalt Blue.
Magenta Quinacridone by Danial Smith, [Warm Magenta] makes and excellent neutral dark mixed with Thalo Green. Mixed with Thalo Blue it will
make a fair Violet, Purple, Ultramarine Blue, or Azure.
