Project Skin Colors
One day, I went shopping with friend Johanna. We saw a pretty pale blue outerwear. When we tried it on in fitting room, it looks too dull for me but it looks fresh for my friend. Then we saw a pretty deep blue outerwear and we tried it on in fitting room again. This time, it looks nice for me but it looks old for my friend. I wonder why the same garment shows different feeling for different people. What happen of the garment? At that moment, I notice that our skin color affect the choice of color of clothes. The same color may match to you but it does not match to the others. Actually, there are many skin colors in the world. Skin colors are not limited to a single color in one nation. Although our skins are in yellow color, there are various yellow tones among Chinese.
It often sees the various skin colors in cosmetic product, especially in foundation.
According to Wikipedia, Human skin color can range from almost black (due to very high concentrations of the dark brown pigment melanin) to nearly colorless (appearing reddish white due to the blood vessels under the skin) in different people. Skin color is determined by the amount and type of melanin, the pigment in the skin. Variation in skin color is largely due to genetics. As a general pattern people with ancestors from tropical regions (hence greater sunlight exposure) have darker skin than people with ancestors from subtropical regions. This is far from a hard and fast rule however, because many light skinned groups have managed to survive at the equator by way of social adaptation. The same can be said of dark skinned groups living at subtropical latitudes.
Experiment on color matching on skin colors
There are 4 people with different color skins. I am trying to match different colors on them and select the best 5 colors respectively.
The people who have a bit green color skin are suitable to wear the garment in pure color such as green, blue and black.
The people who have health/honey brown color skin are suitable to wear the garment in bright or deep color such as orange and olive green.
The people who have a bit red/pink color skin are suitable to wear the garment in light grayish color such as light pink and light blue.
The people who have light/white color skin are more suitable to wear the garment in light/pale color such as light green and pale brown.
When people select "appropriate" color on their clothings or cosmetics, the coordination of the color become harmony. It will make them more charming and attractive.
