Multi-coloured face-paint for a multi-coloured country seems very sensible(well, daft, since it is morris, but sensible daft), looks pretty good, and doesn't give rise to any misunderstandings.

Someday we'll be through all this stuff about what colour skin people have, and people will find it hard to believe it ever was like that.
