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,

thanks and hugs,

Michelle

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

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.
Hugs n roses, Meganne

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.

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

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