have a question if you had a warm skin tone made from YELLOW OCHRE, LIGHT RED and white, what color would you use to neutralize it?
I won't get into this color thread except to note that as Michael says, much of what is being discussed is semantics. One man's cool is another man's warm. On your question about the warm skin tone, Michael, I would say that what you have described is a very COOL flesh tone.

My flesh tone is made with cadmium yellow and cadmium scarlet and white. I cool with cadmium red or yellow ochre. But in the transitional edges and shadow I do see a lot of greens, and purples and blues, as well as orange and yellow.


Michele, on your swatches, I see 4 greens and 1 purple
