But the new dutch catalog which the exact same pages and the exact same
photography, the same minifigs are clearly yellow!
I was very keen to inspect the skin tones and only noticed ‘natural’ skin in
small pics of the ferrari people.
So for some reason or the other, the catalog designers spend great effort to
hide or show the new skin colors, according to some erratic (or changing) TLC
marketing policy.

OOPS, I was wrong! Please take note the above statement is false.
I was writing from memory and checked it when I got home. As it turned out,
the Danish and Dutch catalog are simply the same WRT skin colors. Even within
the same theme, some figs appear to be yellow, some are flesh and some are
hard to make out eighther way, My yellowish room lighting must have fooled me
the night before.
So apologies for my cynical remark about TLC marketing policy in this respect.

Exactly. Not only does some figures within the same theme seem to have different
colors. But individual figures have diffrent colors:
On page 22 the train
man in front of the train is flesh, but the same train man in the bottom left
corner is yellow (might not seem so on the scan, but he certainly is in the
catalog I have in front of me).
Likewise the man with black hair in the bottom left corner is yellow, while he
is flesh on page 23.
When one figure seems to be both, I believe they are still yellow.
