Barbie/Obitsu hybrid and skin tone question

Ok, I've noticed that as far as the neck joint goes a Fashionista Barbie female head fits near perfectly on a male 27cm Obitsu slim body - none of the usual wiggle or adjustment issues that seem to show up with Obitsu.

I'd hoped to snag a couple more Fashionistas (apparently the ones I have are from the 'Play With Color' set) at Family Dollar this Store Day, but sadly they only had one left (her dress says 'Sporty' if that's any help) and she has the same skintone almost as the one I already had. I'd wanted the pale AA one and the dark-haired one for the different skincolors, but I guess I'll have to snag them on Amazon if at all, unless Family Dollar gets another shipment next month.

Or I might just buy more Liv dolls, if it only comes down to bodies... which means actually getting to my question. XD

Are any of the Fashionistas a reasonable match for Obistu's normal skin tone in color? Or should I just resign myself to painting a head? Knowing the answer is the difference between whether I keep the rest of the line on my wishlist, or drop all but the AA girl...

Barbie is usually darker than Obitsu and Volks. The closest skin tones are the white white collector dolls or princesses.

I thought that might be the case. Oh well. :) I mostly wanted to know so I'd know if I should grab another doll or go ahead and break out my paints and get to work. The impatient part of me is somewhat glad it's the latter, even if it's not quite as 'easy' that way.
