Those PS brushes are greyscale and take whatever is the foreground colour. You can mix your own skin tone or use a pre-made palette. You can often find these same place as your brushes.
example http://palettes.deviantart.com/art/10-Li...-103148090

These go in your palettes folder C:\Users\your-name\palettes and show in the palettes dialogue.
Windows -> Dockable Dialogues -> Palettes and make a Palette active

Then click on the FG swatch to bring up the Change FG dialogue and colour pick a colour.
This screen shot shows the main objects.  An active palette, the palettes tab in the Change FG dialogue and the color picker. Edit: you do not actually need the color picker, just click on the color you want.

   

For the amount of brushes you have at the moment, a resources manager is a little over-kill. Keep categories of brush in sub-folders and use tags

Quote:Now you have intrigued me with the mention of a resource mgr.  What do you recommend for that?

However.  Resource managers. There are a couple of alternatives, but Ofnuts is comprehensive and relatively easy to implement. see: http://gimp-tools.sourceforge.net/managementtools.shtml for information
and
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-too...s/scripts/ for the plugin addonCollectionManager-3.0.py about 29 down.

Using it, the short version.
Plugin goes in your plugin folder
Make resource folders in your Gimp Profile, for brushes a folder, brushes_storage (note the underscore)
Zip the category of brushes into a single file and put in the brushes_storage folder.
After starting Gimp, right click in the  brushes dialogue to bring up the resources menu.

the long version
A video, over long and slow (10 minutes) but covers the subject http://youtu.be/v0g0qv4YMks (ignore the GimpForums leader, GimpForums is deceased)
