Do you mean actual portraits? He painted Julie Manet, the daughter of Berthe Morisot. Two sisters Cahen from Antwerp. One of his patrons, Mme Charpentier with two children. His fiancée, and again later when she was Mme Renoir. Their son Jean Renoir. Jeanne Samary, a well-known actress. A great number of nude women, a few known by name, but most of them anonymous. Is this an interesting list, or are you really after something else???

If titanium white existed in his time he didn't use it, but flake white - with which his canvases were given a coat about a week before he used them.
He hated Prussian blue.
His early palette consisted of
Flake white
Ivory black
Cobalt blue
ultramarine blue
Terra verte
Emerald green
Vermilion
Madder lake
Venetian red
Sienna natural
Yellow ochre
Chrome yellow
Naples yellow
Carmine, for cheeks, despite its fugitive nature.
Cobalt violet, occasionally
His late palette was simpler: as above but minus Chrome yellow and Ultramarine and maybe some others, like Vermilion.
The source of this is the book Renoir My Father written by his son Jean; in it can be seen a list of his colours written by Renoir in a letter.
