changing skin tones and hair colors

Planning out a few projects that will eventually go up in a classroom, but need
help in changing the skin/hair/maybe eye colors from those of European
persuasion to something more ethnic/inclusive. Aiming for a culturally diverse
decore but finding that I'm not really good at color changing! DMC for the
bulk of it, but probably something fancy/fun for the hair. Any ideas?

I think MLI (if you're not boycotting her) has a conversion chart on her tiag
site.

Someone, some time in the past posted a list of color numbers for different
racial groups on the group. Go forth and google.

Another great source for hair and skin color are the many Precious
Moments books by Gloria and Pat. They have conversions for many
different ethnicities.
