It is a classic painting skintone color, usually a morgueish purply grey red. Dead Head is a take off on Caput Morte, or Schminkes " Caput Mortuum". Caput being head and Morte or Mortuum being dead.
Actually I am not sure which is correct, Caput Mort or Caput Morte , it depends on whether a head is masculine or feminine.
