I have yellow ochre, lemon yellow, burnt umber and bright red. It's a small palette because we were taught to mix the colors we want. Wasn't allowed to use black either, had to mix it. I keep trying, but I wind up with a washed out color not one wants to see on a gsd.

It became an interesting choice when I had to settle for one coor thread for the jacket - it ended up being nutmeg, I believe, although with another brand thread it was terra cota.
