Again, I am not Larry. LOL But ......

I believe Larry only uses the Alumilite colors. I don't believe he ever measures, instead he dips his stir stick into the color and mixes to eye. As a result, I doubt any two batches would ever be the same.

Nevertheless, Alumilite has white and red, which would give a good pink color or in the right mix a "pink flesh". Alumilite also makes a color called Caucasian.

I suggest that if you know your "additive" color wheel, and you have the colors that Alumilite sells, you can find a color close to what you are calling flesh color.

I hope this helps some.
I think my bucket list has a hole in the bottom!

Most of the ones I've seen, he typically colors the tails red and then uses some touch of orange in straight Alumisol to get that peachy or down right orange color. I think one of the videos actually shows him adding the color but ever since we've come up with Alumidust, I think he dusts almost every Whiggley he makes.
