Question Palette of colors

I mainly paint on site 'en plein air'. I'm always curious as to what others use as their palette of colors for painting landscapes. Anyone want to share? Here's mine:

cadmimum lemon, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, cadmium red light, alizarin crimson, French ultramarine blue, Prussian blue, titanium white. Occassionally use cerulean blue instead of Prussian.

Animal, although i do paint total landscapes, i LOVE to paint clouds. Fortunately for me i live in central Fla. & have a lot of opportunity to study them! I have found that there are so many different methods that can be used & i implement almost all of them!
