Adding a phthalo green/ viridian hue to this palette creates a beautiful, deep transparent black (a VERY deep purple) when it’s mixed with crimson, ontop of making a wider gamut and the convenience having immediate access to a green

ultramarine can be used in place of cobalt blue, although it is usually more violet and semi transparent

cerulean blue hue can be made with phthalo blue and white, BUT
Be warned phthalo blue is an incredibly overpowering color in mixtures- a small amount of it will show up very strongly in mixtures.
The hue is ironically much brighter and more staining than the genuine pigment, which can be either a pro or con depending on wether you want a bright blue that retains its brightness or a very slightly less bright blue that desaturated into more natural colors as it’s mixed
