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

These were inspired by Pantone customers seeking colours which better represent their communities.

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.
