Mousso's newer MATs are good.

Cherubit's MATs are often pretty great, especially settings right out of the box.

But for the subtle and controlable pale I sometimes seem to be looking for, I keep going back to Sangriart. Specifically Olesya. It has a rosy-ness that's not lost in the desaturated pale of the skin, so highlights like face-cheek redness and fingertips and feet redness look more realistic.

Cherubit's Milan had an interesting skin shader setting which I merged, and it brought out some different realism I hadn't seen in the original Sangriart product. So I've run with that a bit as well, going back and forth with different SSS settings depending on the scene.

More recently the Madarocsi / HumanXYStudios bases have looked interesting. Started out with Vera V2 but the colors ended up being all over the place (red legs with yellow/jaundice torso & arms). Monica V2 has been better, but still a work in progress.

This is speaking all in G8. I really need to get back to G8.1 tests when I can. The Victoria 8.1 portrait testing went well a ways back and should take more priority time. Mousso's Maureen and Saffire are waiting for light tests and could very well be better than anything going anyway.

Thanks for the suggestions @Spats
