So, what I’ve done is scour
the web for pictures of a typical person of that particular ethnicity.
I’ve given a picture of a man and a woman, because in pretty much every
culture, women are lighter skinned than men are. Below the pictures,
I’ve made some color swatches. I’ll try and convert them to Vallejo
mixes (sorry, GW people can’t come up with these with only around 6
flesh colors!!), but you can also just compare and contrast. Also, I’ve
tried to give enough swatches so that you can select three consecutive
swatches to choose your own range, because variations in skin color can
be seen even in families.So, what I’ve done is scour the web for pictures of a typical person of that particular ethnicity.
