Anyone know what companies do this?

Hello! My question is, I want to find a 1/3 female sculpt body, BUT I want her to be gray skinned.
I've been having some issues finding companies that either sell gray skin on a regular basis, or have an acceptable color of gray.
I haven't been looking as if my life depended on it because I don't have the money right now, but I'd just like to have a good idea on where I'd want the body from.
The only two companies I can remember having gray skin as a choice are 5StarDoll, and Bobobie/Resinsoul.
* Although I like the BBB/RS gray skin color, and the way the body looks, I know it's not going to be the best at posing (I have a couple BBB/RS myself).
* The 5SD bodies pose fine (I also have kids from there), but the way the jointing is for the elbows and knees are smooth in such a way where they need hot glue sueding to make sure they don't continuously slide back straight, also the gray skin color they have is a bit too light for what I want.

Any suggestions? :3

SOOM occassionally does dolls in grey, but you'd have to look for those on the secondary market as it's not a color they offer every day like BBB or Illusion Spirit. I have a grey IS doll and their grey is almost identical to SOOM's grey.

Thanks for all of your help! :D

I think I might go with an Illusion Spirit, but does anyone know how well they pose? :3

What size were you interested in? I have a 1/6 and a 1/4. The 1/6 is sort of in pieces right now (I'm trying to put SOOM hooves on him) but the 1/4 is intact and I could do some stuff with him :)
