In the TV industry, it's well-known that the human eye is unusually sensitive to the color of skin. If a tree is the wrong color, no one will notice. If skin is even a little bit wrong, it looks horrifying.
I've always worried that, being of Northern European ancestry, perhaps my eyes are evolved to be more sensitive to white skin. I know I'm nowhere near as sensitive to color shifts in dark skin versus skin that is close to my own shade.
Does anyone know of any studies on this subject? I'd love to know whether or not my perception is universal or not.
