Ha ha, I had the same problem with some of my pans. Didn't know what pigments they were. But in my opinion the best results are made with fewer pigments in a painting so I guess you could just look for what colors you miss. Yeah, the test are fun. I was lucky and got a lot of these a friend had made for lots of combinations. Because all pigments behave different when mixed add well. Have a great day!

Yup, lucky you!
Painting with fewer pigments - yup, that's very true. I've noticed that with oil painting - it's easier to deal with colors if you have fewer pigments anyways except for few cases where you're going for a specific effect or a vibrant color you can't achieve with a limited palette (for example, turquoise).
Either way, I'm a bit of color-aholic (haha) person myself so I like to experiment with pigments to get an overall feeling. It's super fun to see how they behave because they all are unique. Kinda hard when I don't know what they are though! xD
You too have a great day!
