Which colors???

[Jezzter]

Ok, I found this seller on ebay that asks you to choose 22 colors out of the 210 available from vallejo line:

lets say that I have no paints at all and am starting, what colors and types do you suggest ( including using part of the 22 as a double) to get a good range of paints and have a set that will cover the range needed to be as complete as possible in painting \"fantasy\" type figures.

thanks,
Jezzter

Well, I can\'t be arsed to give you your whole 22

But I\'d say you want your basic rainbow/spectrum of colours...

Ie. Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Indigo Violet

Maybe 1 or 2 fleshes, couple of metallics, and some washes.

The colours I mainly use may not be the ones you would use in your palette but here goes...

Black matte 950, White matte 951, German cam. black brown 822, Basic skintone 815, Deep yellow 915, Clear orange 956, Red 926, Carmine red 908, Ultramarine 839, Intense Blue 925, Prussian blue 965, Golden olive 857, Military green 975, Black Green 980, Cork brown 843, Burnt umber 941, Light grey 990, Dark sea green 868, Flat earth 983, Leather brown 871, Goldbrown 877, Transparent smoke.
Phew...it was sooooo hard limiting it to just 22 paints.
