A variety of human skin (and hair and etc) tones would seem appropriate. Is there something more to this question than it appear at first?

  Well since the manufacturer is in the conversation: yes I’m coming from the perspective that an arbitrary color helps avoid racial stereotypes, and just as importantly includes everyone. Multiple skin tones per classroom is: - Probably out of budget - Even if it’s not, subject to bias Why not use a skin tone that’s not likely to be identified with by anyone? If we taught kids to put condoms on a banana they can figure it out. Making educational wieners racially diverse is a fool’s errand.

    I think I'm maybe not understanding what this is for. It's to show students varieties of anatomically correct bodies and genitals? But color and texture/material (skin, which itself has different varieties vs hair vs etc) is a fairly important part of that. I'd almost think pictures or videos would be better. I'm probably misunderstanding what the goal is though. > Why not use a skin tone that’s not likely to be identified with by anyone?

It just seems odd to go for extreme realism except for the color.
