I do think that the white lead could have been used as a pigment on tanned leathers (I suspect you do too), and the lighter the leather color the better.
I though you might find this interesting you'll likely need to use a translator though (see the armour):

I have all of my supplies now, though I will need to get some thinner leather for the ptyreges and scales. I am making progress --already have the "breastplate" portion cut out of the 12 gauge leather. Pics soon.
