I didn't want to overthink things in picking the colors for this drawing. I went with apple green for her lower body and brilliant yellow/orange for her fins.
Should I make her a blonde? No, this would be a brunette, with hair so glossy that the highlights are pale, pale pink. An unlikely combo, perhaps? It doesn't look wrong though! She looks like she just stepped out of a shampoo commercial.
I haven't done too much in skin tones, since most of Rosanes' drawings are of other-worldly beings and therefore not in human skin tones. I laid down some seashell beige or some such for her arms and back, but found this mermaid too white, so I deepened the skin tone with sepia, especially in the shadows.
The other critters on the page were quickly done... while under the influence of a bunch of flu medications. Haha.
