The Pantone SkinTone™ Guide, STG202, is the updated Skin tone colour reference product from Pantone. The newly expanded 2023 edition of the SkinTone Guide includes 28 new shades in addition to the 110 existing SkinTone shades found in the original  STG201 Guide.

The SkinTone™ Guide, STG202 is based on colour measurements of actual human skin tones, across the full spectrum of human skin types. The new colours expand the range of yellow undertones and darker tones providing increased diversity and inclusivity. These were inspired by Pantone customers seeking colours which better represent their communities.

It is a superb tool for a wide range of differing applications for designers and product developers who use skin colour in their work. Ideal for matching skin tone of models on product packaging and photography, it is also useful for toys – dolls and action figures, medical prosthetics and cosmetics.

The SkinTone™ Guide can also support designers and product developers of Lingerie and Hosiery with production of skin tone coloured products. Extremely useful also for showing them the appearance of sheer coloured products over a full range of skin colours. It is also a great tool for independent sales representatives in the cosmetic industry.

Produced to best match skin tone colour under D65 (Daylight 6500K) lighting, this guide, like all Pantone books, should be used in conjunction with a light booth containing standardised controlled lighting.
