I do ethnic skintones using various mixtures of Titanium White, Yellow Ochre, Red Oxide and Mars Black, with some glazes on top to vary the colour for cheeks, lips and so forth.

For the hair I'd either go with French Ultramarine and white to highlight or a dark umber (Burnt Umber would be my preference) and white mixed with black, over a solid base of black.

Hello Steve,

There are quite a few flesh formulas here in the planet for Native Americans. Either by search or reading the vbenchs you can find more.

Here is a link to mine.
