flesh-colored

Like nude stockings

Flesh-colored describes a pinkish-beige tone meant to approximate human skin, typically used for bandages, hosiery, and undergarments: flesh-colored tights.

The term assumes light-skinned people as the default, which has made it increasingly dated as manufacturers adopt more inclusive language like "nude" with varied shades.
