We have far more choices of colors than did the artists before us. You might just mix your own up and put it into a blank tube. You can use a bright white and try a pinch of lemon yellow or cadmuim yellow light until you get what you want, then mix up a ton of it and tube it.

I mixed up 4 "fleshtones" recently for one painting into tubes and these will last me for some time. The work is nearly done and I have more than half of each leaf over.
