Professor Anna Jablonski describes our skin shades as “a rainbow of sepia colors”. It surprised me how hard it was to find a sepia color chartthat could be used for skin. She is mostly correct.
To get a semblance of an idea how many more shades there are, just go to the makeup department and seriously note how many shades of foundation each brand has. You will not see “white” for anything other than an undercoat. Or as eye makeup. Now that I am old I found the pale or light beige shades no longer work without a white undercoat. The shades are correct but because of my old skin they go on weird. The dark circles around my eyes look worse without an undercoat now. Go figure.
