[QUOTE="Baron Opal II, post: 8659524, member: 6794067"] I have found when describing skin color to use makeup palettes to be useful. Sadly, after a quick search I can't find the palette that I have on my hard drive. It was from an international skin care / make-up corporation. I blended that with a modified Fitzpatrick scale. So now, most races / ethnicities have trends towards one or two of five skin types and each skin type has three primary tones. I paired these with hair and eye color trends. Those I mostly found through Wikipedia, which was a tedious search. (Eye color is fantastically complex, inheritance wise, actually.)
