SKIN COLOR
• Skin color depends on light
• Skin color depends on genes
• Skin color depends on a great variety of browns and pinks
• Skin color also depends on the color green in the shadows
• Skin is greasy, so skin also reflects the colors around it
• Can you see the green in the skin?
• Can you see the green in the forehead?
• Skin color also depends on the imagination
