Hey, I'm just looking for a way method + colours within the new range in order to paint dark eldar/elven skin tone. Though I'm after something fairly pale preferably with a slight purple tint to it, but im generally looking for a good method + colours and techniques involved in order to paint a decent looking dark eldar/elves skin tone. Most the ones I find seem to come out looking fairly dark or just straight up grungy.

Dhenab stone, leviathan purple wash, skull white highlight?

Maybe just use pale colors like elf flesh mixed with bleach bone, then wash with purple then highlight with bleach bone mixed with skull white?

The new range actually has a base color and a layer paint color just for you.

Base color: Rakarth Flesh
Layer color: Pallid Wych Flesh

Here I found this link that might help if you still have the old citadel paints.

trying out the examples in this link now, they look pretty much spot on thank you xD

No problem, i might have to try it out myself!
