Vallejo has come out with a lot of paint sets with 16 or 8 colors:

http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/game-color/family/18Do they comprise a lot of useful triads? Do they harmonize for shade blending?
I attempt to use the Steve Dean / Foundry 3 opaque layer style, but always end up doing more of a wet blend, more subtle transition.
I'm looking for earth tones for pre-gunpowder era clothing. Foundry is the king of that color space.
I have some triad pdf files that someone did (this is not Loki's) and I spent some time marking up the Model Colors Earthtones set; but it took so long that I didn't look at every shade possibility. I also tried to find the color equivalent in the Game Colors series.
And if you don't know about Loki's triads:
