Can anyone tell me which of the Citadel paints are the base colors? ie. the "pure" blue, yellow, and red? I'm assuming Blood Red, Sunburst Yellow, and Ultramarine Blue, is that correct?

Bad Moon Yellow is a very bright yellow. It has also recently been deleted from their paint range.
As far as I am aware Sunburst Yellow, Enchanted Blue and Blood Red are the closest "pure" Yellow, Blue and Red colours in the range. I'm certainly no expert though.
To me Ultramarines Blue looks slightly more purple (but not by much) than the Enchanted Blue.

Enchanted Blue is definitely the basic blue.

I love their paints, but I HATE the way Gamesworkshop changes paint names every few years, gaaaah!

I hate the names of some of their Foundation paints and their new washes. At least something like Blood Red gives you a fair idea of what the actual colour is. What colour is Necron Abyss? Dark Blue, not that I would have been able to guess that from the name. Gryphonne Sepia, Devlan Mud? They give you a bit more of an idea, but which one is the closest replacement to the Chestnut ink? Who comes up with these names?
I called GW this morning. it is indeed Blood Red, Sunburst Yellow, and Enchanted Blue. Thanks guys.
Glad to see I got something right!

No kidding. It'd be nice if they'd provide some sort of standard naming... how about hex codes?
