*EDIT: Polychromo flesh tones have now changed names, I have adjusted the colours in the list below so you can find the correct new alternative. Light Flesh is now Beige Red, Medium Flesh is now Coral and Dark Flesh is now Salmon*

IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO DO ALL TONES WITH LESS THAN THE 120 TIN SET
YOU CAN HOWEVER BUY THEM AS INDIVIDUAL PENCILS
