Yes, it SUCKS that Peach was discontinued (as were MANY of their colors recently). It was the best base for dyeing skin tones.

The old custom color page cited above is long gone. Here is the current one:

Most of the "human" skin tones I make are combinations of tan and tangerine. Watch out for using cocoa brown as your brown color for mixing - it has a weird purplish hue to it. I prefer using really small amounts of dark brown for mixing instead.

I use tan, myself. I use a very little bit for a pale white skin, and more for a bit of a tan. Works pretty well for me.

When I do Antron, I usually use Tan and Petal Pink. That one looks a little more on the orange side though.

I also offer custom dyed Antron on my website.
