New Painting

For the latest assignment in the online class Get Your Paint On, I was to try my hand at mixing colors.  The teachers warned:  DO NOT USE THE PAINT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE TUBE!  I was really tempted to, since I thought I found colors that were pretty decent matches.  However, I do like to learn, and color mixing is something that is good to practice. I found myself mixing the colors with a little Titanium White, or a little Mars Black.  Sometimes I needed to add a little Anthraquinone Blue. 

What colors do you have around you that you'd want to put in a painting?  If you are a painter, what colors of paint do you enjoy the most?
