carnations
Explanation:
littéralement "teints" (des visages) mais ici j'utiliserai "carnation" car c'est l'un des rares cas où tu peux te le permettre en français (en hist. de l'art: coloration des parties du corps qui sont représentées nues)
et vu qu'on ne parle pas seulement de visages mais aussi de gorges palpitantes etc. cade a pennello, c'est le cas de le dire ;-)

agree  Delphine Brunel (X): J'avais d'abord pensé à "incarnat" (couleur de chair un peu jaunâtre, syn. carné). Mais "carnations" est plus approprié ici.
