That is indeed a flesh color, you are seeing. Though I do not believe it is the
same as the minifig colors. Instead, it is an older color that originated in
either Belville or Scala lines. To my knowledge, it has never appeared in any
system sets, but there is a slim chance it was also in Fabuland.
It looks to me like the model shop is accessing all of their resources, using
old stock of this color (which was considered a 'special' color even by the
model shop). However, the quantities seen here make me think they have access to
more than just the 'on-hand' quantities they had when I worked there.
Sorta ruins the whole "everything in Miniland can be found in sets kids can buy"
line they like to push. HA!
