Can anyone tell me if SSGSS Goku's base form face skin tone matches Ultimate Gohan's neck?
much appreciated guys,

Wouldn't mind knowing this too if anyone does know, also if it's the same tone as Super Saiyan Goku (not the new one, I know that's way different lol)
Will probably (finally) get Ultimate Gohan in the next week or two though so I can check then if no one else has yet.

It isn't a perfect match, unfortunately. Also worth noting...Goku heads don't really fit on the Gohan neck as it's larger than the original Goku neck part. They can be placed on the neck but movement is extremely limited due to the tight fit. The first image shows Goku, SDCC Goku, Ultimate Gohan, Vegetto, and the SSGSS Goku with a normal form head in their original condition. The second image has been modified to show Vegetto's neck and trapezoids on the Gohan upper torso (just to emphasize the difference).Regarding SS Goku...I'm assuming that means the first release. That would be one instance where you might have a close enough match. The original SS Goku had light peach skin and as you can see in the first pic Ultimate Gohan technically has medium peach skin due to the pink shading. The only problem...the SS Goku head doesn't work with the Gohan neck (assuming you plan to swap parts around).

I was sent these on facebook today, seems like they match up pretty well compared to sdcc 2015 goku, and what if I sanded the neck peg on gohan? Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

The neck peg isn't the problem, it's the size of Gohan's neck. That neck part is much larger than the Goku neck part which makes it incompatible with Goku heads (earlier today I attempted the swap once again to ensure this is the case). As I said, you can force Goku heads onto the Gohan neck but you can't move them around much. Also...you need to avoid sanding down neck/wrist pegs under any circumstances, doing that will always leave you with loose parts. Regarding the tones, keep in mind the Goku and Gohan faces have an essentially identical color. In the following pic you can see how Gohan's neck is a bit too pink to be a decent match for the Goku head. You may have one feasible option available...I added the neck from an SS Goku to a Gohan body and surprisingly enough that specific neck appears to be an acceptable match for the skin tone on Goku's face. It doesn't really work with Gohan's trapezoid/chest area but it seems to be the best option available (even the SDCC Goku neck is a somewhat bad match). Also, the neck must come from the 2010 version of SS Goku rather than the 2013/2015 reissue which has a pink neck.

Any idea if Gohans body is compatible with a datong neck (or the other unbranded goku neck)? Attachment Deleted

The unbranded Goku neck might, might be a good match tone wise but it isn't worth dealing with. As far as I know every unbranded Goku bootleg relies on a SS3 Goku neck joint which means it can't be used on regular Figuarts heads and you can't easily swap a regular neck peg into it (I've tried at least once). I can't say for Datong, I don't have that version, but I think it's safe to say you should avoid it. Datong necks usually don't even match the included face parts, there's very little chance that part will work with legitimate faces.
