Are the red and blue violets ready mixed?, and are these uses to darken and/or add shadows to your skin tones? If your skin tone is too dark how would you personally lighten it?
And just to show how ignorant I am, would I be correct in assuming based on Dru's colour buffering you are also using white along with the bottom 5 to achieve your skin tones?
And in answer to the original question, I too would and usually do only keep the primaries plus black, white, umber and a shed load of trans base
If I was allowed more than 10 bottles I would probably also add all the ochers and possibly even the secondaries, not to mention the colours Paul mentioned as his bottom 5 makes think 20 bottles is more realistic my head is spinning now, who's idea was this stupid game
Being too dark is painful, if I can't erase it away then I would use straight white then deal with whatever shift happens. I really try to go lighter when I make my colours, even when I get this right I still mess it up later on by adding transparent layers making it darker....,
Top 3 and white gets you there fine
I see paint/colours from the angle of how it will kill its complimentary colour - this is how use paint mostly.
