Best Paint Colors for the Ocean

What is best for a basic ocean color? A mix of Ultramarine Blue, Phalo Green, Napthol Red and Permalba White and maybe Paynes?
Payne’s gray is very popular as it tends to match very nicely in shadow areas for being a bit blue. What’s really happening for you with your mix is you’re getting good ocean colors by leaving out the yellow since it’s in the pthalo green already. Let’s say you instead used pthalo blue, cadmium yellow, and napthol red plus white. Now you don’t just have a palette for seascapes, but a palette that can paint any color imaginable (practically).
