Richard, I use yellow ochre as my flesh "mother color" and it is wonderful to use it to lighten darker colors (i.e., shadows) without colors going chalky (as they would if you lightened with a white). (You lose transparency, though.)

I'm also interested in how other painters do this, and thanks for bringing this up.
