Not entirely sure if this should be here or not, but as I'm working on fine tuning my colour palette to work with and refine my skills, I thought I'd give it a go here.
My palette thus far: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/43/ncfb.png/"> 
After a little discussion with a friend of mine, I realized I may have chosen my initial link colour from the wrong end of the luminosity spectrum. Aside from that, I'm really not sure if I'm missing something or if others have another idea I should probably look into when it comes to developing my palette to use for working on my skills. |

Haven't check values and stuff but for sure you have way too many colors at the shadow end and far too few neutralizer shades and that's just because you have a grey ramp. Blue to green must be off because I can just see without testing 2 totally wasted shades. The lightest violet is completely useless as is the lightest green for which a warm yellow would be more efficient. This goes for light pink too. There's nothing you can do with that so maybe add a warm tangerine with a splash blue there to buffer the red ramp and make those yellows go further...

| Thanks. Those do sound like great tips. I will keep that in mind when I build my palette with a couple skin tones. |
