My favorite colors are those of the HP Paintjet.  Thus, you can get the 
accurate fleshtones of a paintjet on your 4020!  Using Dr PH Martins water
colors, (use WATERcolors not acrylics) the colors are Magenta, Lemmon Yellow,
Black, and Turquoise.  The only problem is that these colors tend to fade
after a few months.  I have jjust discovered a new brand which claims not to
fade, called COMART.  I haven't had any experience with it yet.

Hope this helps.
