Default Ink Colors used in T206

I'm curious as to what color or color combinations yield the "flesh" tone on T206 cards. Any thoughts?

I ran across an article long ago that states that there were six color layers for T206 cards. In order: yellow, black, brown, blue, green, red.

There was a recent thread where it was speculated that there were more colors:

Yellow, black, brown, blue, light blue, dark green, red, pink, Gray/tan
I'm positive about blue/light blue being two individual passes, as well as red/pink. I'm less certain about gray/tan. That one could be part of the brown pass which sometimes is more gray.
Here's the upper right corner of Batch showing blue/light blue clearly.
