I think the blue eyes are throwing me off. Are you planning to swap them out for brown?
When you said the skin had a reddish hue, I immediately thought of the Redskins (football) and then native American. However, I also thought of how the AA baby that I saw that was a newborn. That baby seemed to have a more red Caucasian skin than AA skin, but I was told the AA baby's skin darkens later on. I think either would work, and the colors you use would depend on how dark you want the doll to be.
I think I would try the Flesh 05 - 04 as a base. If those don't appear dark enough to suit you, try the 03. It should be a fun experiment.
Linda
