Do you need a set of colors that match the skin tones on that canvas you have hidden in a closet or under the bed?
Kreinik has you covered with Silk Mori collections in four skin tones--African American, Asian, Caucasian and Hispanic.
The only set they lack are American Indian but you can probably combine some of the colors to get what you need for that ethnic group. Scroll down to the middle of the page to find their skin collections.

Access Commodities also has a collection of silks for skin tones. Their range is a mix of silk types and covers African American, Mediterranean, Medium, Oriental and Porcelain. Each collection still comes with an instruction page for mixing colors written by Tony Minieri. To see the thumbnail photos, choose "Silk Thread Kits." Clicking on each photo will show the threads in that set well.
