The SkinTone™ Guide, STG202 covers the full spectrum of human skin types, is based on colour measurements of actual human skin tones. 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.

A superb tool for a wide range of 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 supports designers and product developers of Lingerie and Hosiery with production of skin tone coloured products. Extremely useful 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. Therefore this guide, like all Pantone books, should be used in conjunction with a light booth containing standardised controlled lighting.
