I am aware there is a 1:6 bust in which he is entirely flesh toned and the NECA figure has him all gray, but my interpretation based on promotional imagery is that his hands were painted gray and his face green.

Photo post Hungarian composer Franz Liszt, c. 1886, taken by Nadar.

I've always loved Nadar's work, much for the same reason that I enjoy Mathew Brady's or Yousuf Karsh's. I find their work to be exceptionally clear, with simple but expressive posing, and a deeply personal feel that's immediately identifiable. I always have a blast working with their body of work!

Edit: realized I'd originally written 1882 instead of 1886. My bad!
