If in doubt, paint colour swatches (and then ignore them)
Potters' Pink and Monte Amiata Natural Sienna make an interesting mix. And Phthalo blue is good for dark greens. I don't tend to use it much, though.
I should take another picture of this one, it doesn't show these colours at their best. I must try and use these subtle mixes more often to balance my paintings better. I tend to use all bright colours! Burnt Sienna + Cobalt Blue, Buff Titanium + cobalt blue, Monte Amiata Natural Sienna + Lavender, my personal favourite of this lot.
I THINK THERE'S A STORY IN THE NAMES OF THESE COLOURS...MESMERISING. ARE YOU GOING TO WRITE YOUR FAKE BLOG THIS YEAR?
