i remember seeing in a dermatologist office, a set of tiles, with 56 colors.i think it was 56, it was a large, but manageable number-- any of our doctors out there familiar with these? since skin tone is created by melonin, the palest was 0 melonin, (albino) and the darkest was full saturation- i was tile number 4. (and my daughter is paler than i am, but not the pales person i have ever seen, non albino, so i guess she is 3,)i was in for a body scan, with skin as fair as mine, skin cancer is a concern.
