I use less than 30 paints.
But then I am a colourful paint by numbers kind of guy as opposed to a proper miniature artist.

Which reminds me, I really want to splash out on a big rack.
Me and EB can recommend the Rapier Round Rack.

You'd need a rack like Mae West to hold Andy's Blues.

I do have go to colours and triads I always use but I want to experiment a bit. Not in an NDL sense though...

I use the Warbases racks. I can clearly see the hundred of colours arrayed in front of me and then pick the half dozen I always use...

I also only use 20 or 30 paints. But I have over 100. Because variety is the spice of life. And I’m too lazy to mix my own colours.

The Andrea Paint system is good if a little long winded. I’ve used their black set for my NADGERs and was very happy with it.

I have way too many paints and suspect I’ve duplicated the same shade across several manufacturers. Originally I was going to stick to just the Foundry triads but that plan soon slipped.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Have you got black NADs? They'd look good up against Jeremy's BUM.

Someone please pass the mental floss, I need to remove a persistent image.
I know when to go out
I know when to stay in

And it’s shipped. That’s pretty decent service for Fleabay
And it’s arrived. This is where Simon tells me I bought the wrong version.
