re: Paprika in C&S Gumbo?

I typically use Creole seasoning, thyme, basil, bay leaves, cayenne, S&P, and hot sauce for seasoning. But I am wondering if paprika deserves a place in the pot.

The only thing I use out of all of this is Creole seasoning (amongst other things).

One can certainly use what they want but all those other things are not a staple of gumbo.

Note that Creole seasoning has cayenne in it already.
