I favor the gray palette, kept in a mid value5. I actually bought several cheap small wooden palettes and painted them all that gray. Once dry, shellac was placed over it, which allows for fast clean up.
The first row is from white value 10 down to black value 0, this row is followed in the same order of values by any other color I would use. The benefit is that all the colors correspond to each other on a mid value background and it eliminates guesswork as far as what value color to use.
After taking Marvin Mattelson's workshop, I have learned to tube my own paints and for that I use a stay wet palette. You can either find art paper or paint it yourself in a mid value grey. Then have a glass cutter cut you a piece to fit the size of the box. You can use this also as a palette placed on a taboret or for mixing your paints.
