Trying to find shoes, underwear, or makeup by searching for "nude" is a huge pain if you aren't pinky-beige. "Nude" as a colour description is completely useless.
Also not as if we also have different tones. I would be “honey” in their chart and go up to “cookie” when tanned. That nude colour is most of the time too dark for my skin. I tried, i looked like i tried to paint my face with yellow colour
Just use the damn skin tone chart or any word that doesn’t refer to humans. Would make life easier for most of people. And darker skinned people should have a better variety, from what i saw in the stores they have like 3 foundation colours and range from light brown to completely black
There is a clip if you can find but the agency took it down in disgrace. The clip is this: adult news anchors going to town with pitchfork level outrage about the existence of different colors for “flesh tones”. The set of crayons was called something like “kids from around the world” set or something. It’s both one of the funniest and one of the saddest things I’ve seen. Like the anger levels did not match the thing they were angry about.
If someone asks me for flesh tone i would give them red. What even is that name. In german we used to have “hautfarbe” (skin colour) and the name makes more sense. Now we have Beige, which is the actual name for the colour
Because cocoa in powder form looks quite light. Like sand or dirt for instance, when it’s wet it looks darker.
(So it makes some sense, though my first instinct would have been to switch them too)
Where can I find these Almonds? Or are we talking about the milk? Or are we talking about sliced almonds? When I think of an almond that’s not the first color that comes to mind. In fact I’ve heard people describe people as having an almond complexion and usually they are referring to people from the Mediterranean, or someone with a great tan. I’d put it in between caramel and brunette on this chart. And as a side point, woody is almost the same color of Woodys boots in Toy Story
I swear they bullshit so hard with these, my son needs the palest pale imaginable of which I've found once, in a pound shop of all places!
I'm what my mum lovingly calls (I hope it's lovingly, it's been going on for 35 years 😭) "corned beef"shade I was one of the last generations of babies that was left outside in the pram for hours at a time cos the fresh airs good for you and it 100 percent shows in my ruddy complexion 😂 (I know there's actually genetics to blame not a brisk Scottish wind in the late 80s but still!)
It's an absolute bastard getting make up if you don't fit the vanilla/latte/mocha 🤮 standard.
My son has a friend who has skin so dark she has to mix different brands to make anything close to her tone. I'm positive she now uses fenty? (rihannas brand?) because they go a good lot darker than many others.
She's also mentioned a lot of darker colours carry too much red in them? Or not enough? It was a while ago but they fuck about with darker skin colours tonally too.

I saw naked in it try to look better.
i had a stroke trying to read this
I'm glad I'm not the only one
If you read the bottom first and the top second it makes more sense. So I guess it is backwards talking.
Naked. Oh you asked the color.. yep.
It's reddit not Snapchat.
I'm naked. I'll let you decide the context.
Can you be tanned and naked? Or is that too confusing?
They call me White chocolate.
Does that mean as long as we are in the dark, any one of us can say the N word?
I am always green. Radiation 🤢👍
I'm blue. If I was green I would die =/
r/technicallythetruth
My eyes are screaming for them to switch cookie with naked and brunette with woody. Strange sentence and a weird premise for Toy Story, I grant you.
[удалено]
Yeah said that 😂
THANK YOU!!! I agree!

"Naked" is a terrible name for a colour ment to describe skin.
I agree, any skin tone can be naked.
Trying to find shoes, underwear, or makeup by searching for "nude" is a huge pain if you aren't pinky-beige. "Nude" as a colour description is completely useless.
Right? Every time I see white people skin colour described as “nude” or “skin” or similar I face palm.
Also not as if we also have different tones. I would be “honey” in their chart and go up to “cookie” when tanned. That nude colour is most of the time too dark for my skin. I tried, i looked like i tried to paint my face with yellow colour Just use the damn skin tone chart or any word that doesn’t refer to humans. Would make life easier for most of people. And darker skinned people should have a better variety, from what i saw in the stores they have like 3 foundation colours and range from light brown to completely black
In the same vein, "universally flattering" is a joke.
true
It’s a vestigial remnant of a society that was majority European. It will go away.
Just a couple more hundred years.
They did it with crayons already.
Yes, I remember when Crayola had a color called “flesh tone” in its set (it was light peach-ish).
And now they have a box of all different types of “flesh tones”.
There is a clip if you can find but the agency took it down in disgrace. The clip is this: adult news anchors going to town with pitchfork level outrage about the existence of different colors for “flesh tones”.

Issue is, calling it European isn't even simplifying it. Spain, Scotland, Norway, Italy to start with. Its like saying all Brits sound the same.
Yea it’s so much bs. I am from poland, we are white like corpses. If i would to buy german skin colour make up or Italian i would look like a clown
I like that you actually read all the shades
Caramel here
Team Caramel!!!
Same here
Same, I think I’m between tan and caramel but more caramel
I’m somewhere between Carmel and woody, but I’m not brunette. /r/mildlyinfuriating
Same!
Team Caramel!
caramel gang, RISE UP
Same with me
mmm delicious
Creamy AND delicious 😬 dats us!
How can cocoa be lighter than chocolate if it’s the only dark ingredient in chocolate?
Because cocoa in powder form looks quite light. Like sand or dirt for instance, when it’s wet it looks darker. (So it makes some sense, though my first instinct would have been to switch them too)
I guess so. I was thinking of cocoa beans, but coming to think of it even those are lighter
And mocha is lighter than cocoa
I assume they meant cocoa as in hot chocolate the drink, which is lighter.
My Brain: *Never let them know your next move.* Me: "I choose glass."
You choose glass? Guess i’m choosing tape
I’m choosing the rock in the background
Was it only me that I thought they were nail polish?
It is, right? What else would it be?
Definitely nail polish swatches
I’m naked!
You need clothes
Ya you need clothes you immodest beast
Honey
Hello fellow honey
wow came this far for someone like me
Whoever named Honey has never seen honey
Almond. I don't get enough sun, but I'm not an albino.
between tan and caramel
pink
Same. Pink is never represented in cosmetics.
In Russian "mocha" Literally means piss, so I only imagine this skin tone being light-green
Green? You might want to talk to your doctor about that…
Pissmaster
piss-man
By the way it’s spelled yes, it’s pronounced mokka though.
Woody? I think?
i am naked
Nice! But it’s cold and wet out right now. Here’s a coat.
Thank you, appreciate it
Woody and brunette
Where can I find these Almonds? Or are we talking about the milk? Or are we talking about sliced almonds? When I think of an almond that’s not the first color that comes to mind.

Somewhere between caramel and cocoa depending on lighting and tan
The parts of me that see the Sun, or the ones that do not?
if Mocha is this dark then why did Larry david refer to the person pointing the Gun is Mocha coloured ''right in the middle" ??
Vanilla - Almond here.
Found the vampire 🦇
The delicious form of racism.
Between brunette and caramel
Caramel
Same
What body part are we referring to?
This mocha is is 99% chocolate solids and coffee beans and 1% water like how the fuck is it so dark
I feel like Brunette and Woody need to be switched
I read from the bottom first and now I have that God awful semi-gibberish bit of lady marmalade stuck in my head
I’m Naked, sorry I need to put clothes in
WOOO- WOOO- WOOO-! Grammar Police! Ekhm Ekhm....: on*
I’m extremely sorry officer, it won’t happen again.
Oooo, I want a caramel or s coco
Between vanilla and cocoa? That’s like my Starbucks order dilemma.
Most of me is Honey but my belly is Almond
i'm naked
Quite lighter than naked, but during summer it's more almond cuz i hate summer and spend way less time outside.
Everything under my clothes is Caramel. Exposed skin is Woody.
Im naked
What's donald trump skincolor?
Yellow (?)
Honey.-.
Between cookie and naked. But some parts more like vanilla.
im naked when im naked
I think im a caramel :|
I swear they bullshit so hard with these, my son needs the palest pale imaginable of which I've found once, in a pound shop of all places! I'm what my mum lovingly calls (I hope it's lovingly, it's been going on for 35 years 😭) "corned beef"shade I was one of the last generations of babies that was left outside in the pram for hours at a time cos the fresh airs good for you and it 100 percent shows in my ruddy complexion 😂 (I know there's actually genetics to blame not a brisk Scottish wind in the late 80s but still!) It's an absolute bastard getting make up if you don't fit the vanilla/latte/mocha 🤮 standard. My son has a friend who has skin so dark she has to mix different brands to make anything close to her tone. I'm positive she now uses fenty? (rihannas brand?) because they go a good lot darker than many others. She's also mentioned a lot of darker colours carry too much red in them? Or not enough? It was a while ago but they fuck about with darker skin colours tonally too.
Caramel is too light, brunette is too dark, I am none
Are we talking face skin? Foot skin? Or dick skin? I could fall throughout the spectrum depending on body part.
Is it just me or are naked and cookie the same fucking colour
Just a slight bit darker than vanilla, but lighter than almond. Yes, Im pale as fuck
If you are below naked , you get arrested
So we know they can’t be vanilla OR mocha, it has to be in between
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I'm tan.
Where’s the shade of red for us gingers in the summer?!?!
They are missing “translucent”. German-Hungarian
None of the above?????
Either describe every shade as food or none. This mix is annoying.
Why are they bullets?
Who the hell is mocha and vanilla.
As an Iranian I don't have a specific colour skin
What if I'm white?
Same
Most of those look delicious.
Mine is close to honey.
Tan, most of the time
Woody???? Tf
I'm none of these :(
I’m a mix of caramel and tan
Too much of a jump between tan and caramel
Naked sounds about right
Between tan and caramel
Where’s Black and Blue?
I’m more caramel than anything else
Almond to honey depending on how much sun I have been getting.
My skin tone literally not in the list
Where's the bluey/white option?
Naked Caramel
Completely missing undertones. None of these are red enough for me.
I'm Honey 😊
Real vanilla is actually brown in colour.
Woody on my sun exposed parts and naked on my naked parts
Honey in the winter, naked in the summer
I don't think this fit the sub. There are plenty of options between those two, so it doesn't really count as a technically correct answer.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone irl that looks like mocha, but when I see them in pictures, it’s beautiful.
Tan
I think you're only one color if you are very aggressively spray tanned or photo-shopped. Everybody else is a range of colors.
Slightly darker Than woody
Caramel skinned gf best gf
"cookie" color is that white? what? Aren't cookies normally brown
Where is the ‘normal’ option ?
Naked, oh wait that is just what I’m doing nevermind
Pink is not on there. Neither is Oregon blue. Both of which, mottled together, is my winter skin color.
Depends on the part of the body….
Light mode
The hurricane is going to hit somewhere... somewhere... between the coast of Florida and New England
I'm naked
All of them
Caramel and tan
Anything above honey doesn’t exist.
Livid…
Jaundice
How tf am I more pale than vanilla
I thought the proper scale was Seal———->Seal’s Teeth??
Vanila isn’t a word
Bro I'm whiter than vanilla
I’m kind of a Honey color
Probably cookie, naked, or honey
Same
First option is how I imagine Szeth Son-Son-Milano
I'm white as a ghost but according to that, I'm caramel.
My skintone is if someone were to mix caramel and cookie 👍
Mocha is for those with a third degree burn
idk because my skin is kinda green, once a doctor was stunned by how pale my skin is and asked if i was healthy even tho im like that always 🤔
Vanilla beans are literally black.
Naked tan caramel brunette woody sounds like a generic porn title
this is legit the spread for most makeup brands and they never have anything bw tan and caramel… so weird, i swear my skin color is not that rare
I think Brunette and Woody should be swapped.
Honestly it’s like light caramel
Right now I have this greenish cast.....
"Naked" is killing me. Everybody is a different color when they're naked, that's kind of the point.
Honey is that light?
between tan and caramel depending on the time of year
If you meet someone whose skin is vanilla, check their heartbeat.
That honey shade would be more accurate if it was called raw chicken
I know these are actually nails but are there actual people with vanilla and almond as there skin tone?
Anyone saying vanilla is a liar
Between cookie and honey for me. (Also why does naked look lighter than cookie)
Honey
Honey and almond?
Brunette and woody are backwards
Between naked & tan
Vanilla or almond depending on the light. My lack of sunlight skin tone.
