Skin Colour/Tone

Tags for Natural Human Skin Tones

dark skin — broad term for a skin tone of a notably dark shade, usually used for characters with brownish skin tones
brown skin — skin that is deep brown, may cross over with tan skin
tan skin — skin that is a pale shade of brown, or orange-brown in colour

pale skin — skin lacking much pigmentation, but still having some pink or peach tone

Other Skin Colours

Note: while some of these terms may be used to refer to skin tones above, these should generally be taken as the "literal" description of the colour, e.g. an orange, green, white or yellow skinned character should be literally of those colours, not a natural human skin tone with hints of those colours.
