I recently tried an odd mix of colors to create a new flesh tone, Liquitex Alizarin Crimson and Jo Sonja's Tree Frog Green! You can use any dark crimson and spring green to achieve a vibrant flesh color. It's hard to wrap your brain around it, but it does work!
The ratio I used on the left was approxiimatly one-third crimson to two-thirds green. I added white to show the final flesh tone. The sample on the right was about a fifty-fifty mix. You can lighten or darken the color with burnt umber, hookers green, prussian blue etc. I like the vibrancy.
