[Scriptoris] Essential colors?

[Sandra D]

I pretty much agree with your pallet that you have laid out below with just a few changes.  I personally use Mistletoe Green instead of permanant green, I find the color a little richer, and I also prefer to use Cadmium Yellow.  Ivory Black seems to lay a little better for me as well.
   
  You do want to make sure that they understand the differences in the white pigments though.  If they use Permanent White to mix thier paints it will fade over time as this pigment has a bleaching agent in it.  
   
  Let us know what everyone else tells you!

  I've had someone ask me what I would consider to be the essential color
palate for a scribe. They are looking to buy some of the high-end gouaches,
and have a limited budget. I confessed to not having given it much thought
before, and would like to solicit opinions! So, if you absolutely had to
limit yourself to 10 colors or fewer, which would you choose?

My (quick) list thus far is:

Ultramarine
Cadmium Red Deep
Permanent Green Middle
Medium Yellow
Black (no real preference on which)
Zinc White
Permanent White
Metallic Gold
