~Skin Tones~

1. Ivory

An ivory skin tone is usually a little darker than a porcelain skin tone. People with this type of skin tone could have a golden, peach, pinkish, or even a bluish undertone.

Like an ivory skin tone, an autumn skin tone has a warm undertone (the color underneath the skin surface). A person with this type of skin tone may have a golden, bluish, or pinkish tint.

2. Beige

A beige skin tone is described in different ways—light brown with a gray or yellow tint, gray-yellow, tan with a green undertone, and so on. In most cases, this skin tone falls more on the olive skin tone spectrum.

3. Alabaster

The third name on the list of skin tone names or skin tone colors is alabaster. A person with alabaster skin is viewed as someone with blemish-free, even-toned, and bright-white skin. 

Others might associate this skin tone with being sickly or anemic. However, during the Victorian era, a pale complexion (with possibly rosy cheeks) is considered beautiful and was a status symbol for the rich.

9. Mahogany

Mahogany is rarely used to describe skin color, but it's actually just another word for copper, rusty, ruddy, or reddish-brown skin. However, it's not the same as sunburned skin or deep brown skin.

10. Chestnut

A chestnut-colored skin is one that has a medium reddish-brown or dark tan shade. It differs from plain brown because it's darker and has a tinge of red.
