Skin Tone

Here's a little chart that I found on google image search. The words used to describe the range of colors is very generic and sort of blah. How many other ways can we describe skin tone?

Pasty--looks pale and not very healthy
Pale
Ivory

Freckled
Peaches and Cream--creamy-white skin (and sometimes, but not always, freckles)






golden


amber

sun-kissed
honey


light brown
bronzed

mocha
milk chocolate
coffee
swarthy
ebony
dark chocolate



There is also:
Burnt
Pink
florid--a florid face is reddish in color
jaundiced--looking sick and slightly yellow
pallid--very pale in a way that does not look natural or good
rosy--pink and healthy looking, perhaps from physical exertion
ruddy--red and looking healthy
sallow--yellowish, not healthy looking
Strawberries and Cream--I've never heard of this one, but think it would be like peaches and cream with pink undertones or light sunburn?



We can't leave out the curse of many teens and tweens the world over--pimpled, zit face






What other descriptors can you think of? Please leave a comment and I'll add them to the post.
