Re: Show HN: Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones
#96Nice. Most of these colors look right to me, but I'm also seeing green, blue and purple? If you're curating colors from the space manually then it's not a problem. "Only realistic colors" would be a different problem. And I'm not sure if there's a way to solve that problem without excluding some real colors too. (Maybe if the colour selector was a different shape? I don't know much about color spaces.)

Well you've insulted me like 50 times, so I think you're the one who should chill, my good sir. All I did was ask a couple of sincere questions and I'm met with a barrage of insults, yet no answers. Interesting. Also, I honestly have not heard or read anything Donald Trump has said in years.

#98You mention a bit about the latent social forces embedded within technological development and how that has related to skin tones and the technologies of color reproduction, so I figured I would share some references:

The Kodak “Shirley cards” and test shots are of course famous in the media theory world for how they baked notions of race and “standard” or “normal” conditions into the medium of photography. Not dissimilar from the various discussions around facial recognition from approximately 10 yr ago.

All skin is slightly translucent, and color/tones forms a gradient across the surface of the skin. Your upper cheeks and forehead are usually slightly reddish, and the chin/neck are slightly bluish. People only turn yellow if they have kidney or liver damage. However, some distinctive features like Lucy Liu's natural freckles are tough to draw right. We looked around a lot for a procedural texture/shader to help make…
> People only turn yellow if they have kidney or liver damage. This is not true. Roughly 5% of people have Gilbert's Syndrome which is genetic, metabolic abnormality where the bilirubin from dead blood cells are conjugated slower than the baseline patient leading to yellowing of the skin. It is not due to liver damage or disease and is a benign condition. Not to mention there is carotenemia from eating too many carro…
Gilbert's is a liver disease...
