People sometimes ask me how to get "flesh color." My answer varies based on whether I want to enlighten them, get into a discussion, or move on to something else. So...unless you are talking about pantyhose, I think that there is no such thing as flesh color. If you don't believe me, check out figure paintings by Kristina Laurendi Havens.
