Yup, lucky you!
Painting with fewer pigments - yup, that's very true. I've noticed that with oil painting - it's easier to deal with colors if you have fewer pigments anyways except for few cases where you're going for a specific effect or a vibrant color you can't achieve with a limited palette (for example, turquoise).
Either way, I'm a bit of color-aholic (haha) person myself so I like to experiment with pigments to get an overall feeling. It's super fun to see how they behave because they all are unique. Kinda hard when I don't know what they are though! xD
You too have a great day!
