It seems Near Eastern palette would be the best for them.

I don't have said triad but nearly have all the remainder flesh tones so by elimination it's that.

Yes , i think it's a good choice , thanks !

I have tried them all and none seem to work.  The Foundry Near Eastern will cover for the lighter skins of Pathans and some others but not the darker skins of Madrasi's etc.  African Flesh works but is a little reddish.

 I have been experimenting with Vallejo but haven't found the exact  mix I like.  Try this link for some ideas on using their colours. http://www.coolminiornot.com/articles/1310-ethnic-skintones

Finally Jeff965 suggests this as a working solution:

Indian flesh - GW Mournfang brown highlighted with the same colour mixed with white about 50/50 and then another highlight with more white added across bridge of nose, cheekbones etc.

His work can be seen on this thread.  http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=95500.0

Hope that helps.

I use Vallejo Chocolate Brown as base, and then, depending on what tone of skin I am painting, I either darken it with shades -a couple of layers of GW Agrax Earthsade do the trick- or lighten up with English Uniform -olive tones- or Medium Flesh -lighter dark tones-.
