TPE skin tone frenzy

Finding the right skin tone is a nightmare.

Thanks for illustrating these samples.

Best wishes

In the next post I will enter the 3rd level of uncertainty - compare skin color samples from different manufacturers to determine possible compatibilities. This will be like trying to cook a meal with a mixture of canned food from both Qo'noS and Vulcan without speaking either language.

The follow-up post is here: viewtopic.php?p=1304981#p1304981

Besides that, we got TPE material samples from SM Doll. Outstanding - samples WITH labels!

A BIG thank you to Jack @ SM Doll!

Hi,

not only SY Doll updated their skin tones (see this post), but JY Doll has also new and seemingly different skin tones:

I've had several orders of WM "medium" skin. The best have been from RLSD and SRSD except SRSD doesn't have it as a website option. They have "light tan" which I think is different.
From Sherman-Williams, I found a paint formula that matches my best mediums.

I am oil painting at least one tan doll to become medium. Water based paint will not work on TPE. My tests show that oil does, but oil takes over a month to cure (dry).

BAC COLORANT 0Z 32 64 128
B1-Black - 3 - 1
R2-Maroon - 13 1 1
Y3-Deep Gold - 23 - 1

I compared over 60 samples and "Roycroft Rose" is a perfect match to this. There was nothing else close.

Hi DexterQuest,

Will you be testing this oil paint on some spare TPE first? Have you done this before? Curious if this technique will require maintenance coats over time, harmful to our skin, etc. Thanks.

I wonder if, perhaps the Light Tan from SEDoll would match up close enough with any of the SYDoll tones? Maybe I should keep two skin tones and go with a Natural/Pink *hmmmm*

[edit] also have a WM Pink body, so not sure what to do yet, any suggestions???[/edit]
