Blending primary colors together to make the other colors in a composition works more harmoniously than using a large number of pre-mixed colors. Having many different factory-mixed greens on one palette is superfluous, in my experience. Better to mix two different blues with a yellow, or mix a tiny bit of red to much more yellow, then add blue in varying quantities.

What do you like to do to get into your version of "The Zone"?
