[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5596119, member: 8835"] Fresh from the paint expert: Alizarin crimson (sp?) Titanium white burnt umbre yellow ochre Mixed in varying combinations, you can get white people (which aren't really white), black people (which are really brownish in many varying degrees), asians, indians, and people from other continents that have skin tones I don't know the name for. I had done a quick google for this information, and at best, one oil painter site had a 3 color formula. This stuff ain't trade secrets. It was taught to my wife by her instructor, and I was suitably impressed when she explained it to me. it sure beats the "flesh" crayon I had as a kid. Also, as far as I know, these color combinations are good for any kind of paint medium (oil, enamel, acrylic). Obviously, color test yourself. paint and toilet bowl cleaner seem to have the uniform property of mixing consistently to form new colors. Hope this helps somebody looking for realistic fleshtones.
