Hi fellas. I'm getting tired of having to mix my own color for flesh. Are there any acrylic brands that do them that are realistic, not too pink, not too yellow ect?
Thanks.

I use Vallejo Panzer aces flesh base 341. For different tones I add other colors, depending on the skin variations.
I don't know if it's the most realistic, but I do like it.

I've recently discovered from a tutorial that Vallejo Brown Sand (70.876) is an extremely great color for base skin color. It works for both 120mm as well as 1/35th scale. I highly recommend it.

I start from the LifeColors Skin set and depending on the type of skin I want to do I choose the base color, for me a definitive color does not exist and for that I work my own palette of oils colors that gives me all the possible nuances for any type of skin , with that palette i know I can make from a pale Caucasian to the darker African,i use the same palette also for Leather

AK makes a very nice flesh and skin paint set.I'm sure you would be able to come up with a tone to your liking.
