You want to be sure other skin tones are right, too.

- jimmywanger 10y agoYou do that by holding swatches of known colors and calibrating that way. If you have say mixed race models or models of a race you're not familiar with, it would be worse than useless. Somebody with east asian features but western european skin tone would throw off an entire movie.
- irb 10y agoYes, but it's not as though western Europeans all have exactly the same skin tone either - you can still make the wrong assumption. I think the idea would be to have multiple people with different skin tones so that you can check that they all look ok.
- Gibbon1 10y agoReminds me of an older nerds comment about the NTSC Color TV standard . AKA 'Never The Same Color' The techs at the TV station would adjust the transmission so skin tones 'looked right' and left it at that.
