I'm looking for suggestions for painting the skin color of Dervishes, Fuzzy Wuzzies, Pathans, Bengal Indians, Zulus,and Gurkhas. Do you recommend a darker brown for Dervishes, Fuzzy Wuzzies, Zulus, and Pathans, a medium brown for Bengal Indians and Bengals, and lighter flesh tone of regular flesh paint with yellow for the Gurkhas?

I tend to use a darker brown, Burnt Umber, for Fuzzies and Zulus. For Dervish, maybe a lighter crown. Perry makes a set of African flesh tones (Light, Medium and Dark) that I have used. Have not painted Indian or Gurkhas.
