Thanks for the comments. As is often the case the reproduction hasn't quite captured the colours of the original. The shirt is indeed a muted blue but the background is a far stronger ochre/green in reality. Interestingly I do use a limited palette. Five colours to be precise. Lead white, ivory black, english red, light yellow ochre, and ultramarine blue (although this only for materials).
I make them myself and so far have not seen the need to increase my colour range as pretty much any colour can be achieved by mixing the main four and it makes it much easier to achieve an overall unity.
Many thanks again for comments, it's fantastic to have so much feedback and extremely useful!
