I need some advice on how to mix colors for a good Native American skin tone. 15mm figs for AWI. Thank you

Watch Last of the Mohicans. The Hurons look "awful white to me!"
I prime with Uktra Matte Primer from Rustoleum.
And I use Gulliman flesh Contrast paint from Citadel.
If you have more Contrast paints, experiment. Not everyone looked the same.

At a recent Ow Wow a large group of Native Americans were there. The skin tones ranged from light to dark. Some sunburned and others ruddy.

Heh heh heh. Yeah. I know a family with three kids, same parents, and the skin tones range from very dark to very light. Plus, of course, lots of actual mixing along frontiers, for all sorts of reasons.

But I agree, paint them so they "look right" to you.
