I am preparing an order for metro thread and wondered if anyone can recommend a color that I could use for the skin color of my baby designs. I have tried many colors but they are always too pink, too peach or not just right, can anyone help with a color number PLEASE,

I use 1667 and 1922 for skin tones as a rule.

Metro that is...

I use Metro, don't remember the color but it is almost like wheat...looks very pretty.You can also email metro and ask them to suggest a color for skin.****

I like Sulky Rayon 1801 (Flesh) love Chris

1667 in Metro is a pretty good color for babies but not for adults.

You need to use the color Flesh from Robinson Anton. It is perfect for skin color. That is all i use. I have tried bisque and find it it too much of a beige color. Try the flesh color. You will be very satisfied with the results. roberta

I do admit I find it annoying when skin tones are shown as 'pink'. I use a different brand (King Star) but use a beige grey. Hope you come up with the one you need in Metro.

thanks Marianne,
I think baby skin is harder than say adults,
it is tricky but I will try the sugestion below.

I use a colour called 'bisque', I find it is neither too pink nor too beige.
Robison Anton Rayon colour 2377
Robison Anton Polyester 5677
Dragon Polyester B172
Hope this helps.

Thanks, now I will have to add both to my list.

I use a color like 1922, just a bit darker than off white to the tan side.
