The colors in Gamblin's line closest to what is traditionally thought of as primary colors are from the Mineral Inorganic (Impressionist) Palette: Cadmium Yellow Light, Cadmium Red Medium, and Cobalt Blue. However, these primaries create more muted secondaries, as mineral colors tend to grey down a bit in mixtures.

In Gamblins view, using primaries from the modern organic palette provides more access to color space.
• Hansa Yellow Medium
• Quinacridone Red
• Phthalo Blue
By placing more single-pigment colors on the perimeter of the color wheel, the more access we gain in color mixing. A “Split Primary” color palette, incorporating a warm and cool of each of the primary colors, will give you greater color-mixing potential:
• Hansa Yellow Light
• Hansa Yellow Deep
• Napthol Scarlet
• Quinacridone Red
• Phthalo Blue
• Manganese Blue Hue
The dual warm/cool primaries of this color wheel mix higher chroma, more intense secondary and tertiary colors.
