I've been having a lot of fun with primary palettes lately. Can anyone comment on this one? Is it worth dropping the $30 for 3 tubes of paint?

Don't limit yourself to just the primaries.
I mean, it's good to limit your palette as a beginner but don't hold on to just red, blue, and yellow when there are a lot of pigments that have unique characteristics.
A pretty sweet palette of three colors, which are somewhat similar to primaries, is the Velazquez palette.
- Ultramarine blue
- burnt sienna
- Yellow ochre

It doesn't allow you to mix ALL colors but it allows you to mix some real great colors and create some really nice paintings once you get the hang of it.
As a beginner, it's also wise to just experiment with the paints, see what pigments mix well and how they behave.
