ultramarine, black and so on. There is also a more comprehensive color arrangement, starting from the upper right corner, counterclockwise arrangement: white, lemon yellow, light yellow, medium yellow, orange red, vermilion, great red, crimson, rose red, purple, violet, ultramarine, blue, phthalocyanine blue, cobalt blue, lake blue, pink green, grass green, emerald green, dark green, olive green, earth green, raw brown, raw ochre, earth red, ripe brown, black. Of course, we can’t squeeze all the colors onto the palette at the same time unless there is a large enough palette. Painters can choose according to their own color habits. The general principle is the arrangement of white, yellow, red, purple, blue, green, gray from light to deep or from deep to light, and the colors that are similar in brightness and color are close together to facilitate color mixing.
