Good colour for bone anybody know of one

Hello

I am looking for an acrylic paint that would resemble bone colour for
my polymer clay model. Its a grim reaper and need to paint his hands in
a bone colour.

Thanks

Neo

Neo, ivory is made of bone. So go for ivory colored paint--which is white
with a teeny bit of yellow/brown. (if I was mixing clay, I'd add it to
translucent too!)

Neo, don't you mix your own paint colors? Put out a dab of white----now
dirty your brush with a teeny bit of yellow and a pinpoint of brown and mix
it up....you should have ivory! Get one of those litle tin/plastic
pallettes---or use a plastic lid, thats what I have in the way of
"pallette"!

I used a glass plate from the dime store (well, it's that old!) when I was
painting--cleans up a lot better than plastic.

Straight out of the tube, the nearest color I've seen to bone is
"unbleached titanium"

I tried mixing an ivory but did not have much luck. I will give your
mixture a go thanks.
