If you want to keep things basic with the least amount of fuss, I would stick with Effetre. These would be a good base for the primary-type colors.

Yay!! So happy the pink base worked for you. You can also use periwinkle and lavender as bases to get more variations out of your final look and they have always held up well for me under rubino too.
