Renee,
It wouldn't be at all productive to attempt a verbal explanation of the palette. In addition to the tube colors, you wind up with over 50 mixtures (mostly white-tints), the subtleties between which can only be appreciated visually (and then only with practice.)
The best introduction would be either one of Daniel Greene's oil videos, or for about $10 or $15, his coated cardstock publication, "The Portrait Palette of Daniel E. Greene, N.A.", on which is illustrated the complete pre-mixed palette.
