Sorry for watermarks. This is the best version of this painting that I found. One of my all time favorites.

Paintings depicting krishna with grey skin gives him a very ethereal and pleasing look.

Hmmm interesting...i have always envisoned krishna to be a greyish figure.
Do you have any knowledge on how to find our specific ishta devatas?

He certainly is when He wants to be. Krishna deities are authorized to be made out of white marble as well, so there is an understanding of His ability to vary complexion.

None at all other than to say purity and selfless desire to serve.
My own leaning toward Lord Balarama is pure vanity, and hopefully not an impediment since I feel is does help me be more attentive toward Krishna especially since in my worship I cant help but imagine Balarama thwacking me and telling me to go back to focusing on Radha-Krishna.
But currently, all forms and expansions of Sri Balarama hold such significance for me. He is Ananta Sesha. He is Laksman. He is the most merciful Nityananda. He is the independently loyal Balarama. He is spread throughout the material in the impersonal form of gravity. Those of us dedicated to Lord Nityananda, we understand that the moon in Lord Shiva's hair secretly marks him as a devotee of Lord Balarama.
