skin tones
Dermal color variations
Skin tones are the range of colors in human skin, from the palest to the darkest.
The term appears in discussions of diversity and representation: The new makeup line offers forty skin tones.
In art and photography, skin tones require careful attention to render accurately.
The plural form emphasizes that human skin color exists on a spectrum rather than in discrete categories.
