Reborning question -Help with toning down orange vinyl

Hi there, I have a Luca reborn doll head and it is a red-orange color. I would like to know how to tone down the color of the vinyl. I know the newer heads are caucasian in color. I guess I have one of the older ones. Thank you for any advice you can give me. Leah

blue wash

Thank you for the advice. I myself was looking at the doll head and the color wheel and thought I'd try a blue-violet wash. So, we were close to the same idea. Thank you again. Leah

nuetralizing orange vinyl

You can try a blue wash, look at the color of your vinyl on a color wheel and the color that will nuetralize your vinyl will be directly across from it. It will most likely take several coats of paint, if your using genesis paints be sure to bake at 265 for 10 min each layer. After its the color you want you can then use your flesh tones
