One of the reasons I like a limited palette is I can play the colors more or less like a piano. I know where they all are and what they do vis-a-vis each other.
I sometimes add others like a cobalt violet etc.
Right now a pink garment I am painting needs a little clear pink, so I am adding touches of cadmium red light.
The Vermilion works beautifully in skin-tones and is much easier to control than the Cadmium red.
I saw the Monet show in Boston several years ago. The color was shimmering. I have seen many artists who use every paint color available fail to even come close to what he achieved with his limited palette.
