You can use a whole range of analogous colors (colors which are close to each other on the color wheel) to mix your “orange” skin color. And it will largely depend on the palette of colors that you have available to you. There’s more than one way to achieve the same hue. Let’s look at some real examples and a few mixing recipes to make quick realistic looking skin. But flesh colors do have some common color characteristics, which means that with the right approach and a few basic mixing recipes you can be up and painting faces in a flash!
There is no right and wrong way to mix skin tones. To paint the shaded parts of skin, look closely to identify the correct tonal values, and use a complementary color to tone down your color mixes. With this information and the proper mixing method you can create any kind of flesh hue. So how do you mix realistic skin tones in watercolor? Begin by finding the local color you want to mix, which is generally some variation of orange. But surprisingly, mixing watercolor skin tones is not that difficult! The tone of someone’s flesh varies enormously, and depicting this realistically in watercolor needs a basic understanding of color mixing and light. Unfortunately you can’t just mix one generic skin tone in watercolor and paint the whole of someone's face, and there isn’t just one magic color which suits all situations. I have news for you… People's skin is never just one color.
