Basic Flesh sits in the orange family: mid-tone in tone, moderate in saturation, warm in cast. For modelling, drop to Orange Leather in the recesses and step up to Nacre on the edges, both Scale75 paints. Basic Flesh is a little less common: the closest same-finish match, Two Thin Coats Dwarven Skin, reaches 93 percent, and 1 other brand carries a strong same-finish alternative. A cross-brand swap will get you most of the way, but eyeball it against the original first.
