What color is your palette?




Just wondering what color palette you use, and why?

I've used a medium gray, but now, I'm back to a greenish gray. It's a bit dark, I think. My palette is a half inch thick piece of plywood, covered by glass which helps cleaning. I scrape it off every day with a razor blade scraper. I've thought of changing the greenish gray to something else, but reds tend to make flesh colors look too cool, and blue tends to make flesh tones cooler still because, I think, flesh tones look so warm against blue to my eye.
