Traditionally, YCbCr vectorscopes (just the CbCr part) have this "skin tone" line marked on them to assist with video source normalization.

Ooh, neat! (Also: another rabbit hole for me to explore)

Between 102° and 105° depending on YUV or YCbCr - it also proves that melanin is a neutral density filter.

Will these guys be considered too? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argyria

Ok, nice, they are considered by the article

I'm so bad at picking skin tones, so this is perfect for me.

*colour gradient

darn, I thought there was something called a cookie gradient, which tbh seemed like it might yield some interesting skin tones!
