 Inner skin color:

 It is the color of the skin under the skin, and this type is divided into three sections, namely:

 Warm skin, including people with brown or yellowish skin.

 Neutral skin, including previous color combinations.

Skin color tests

There are some simple tests that can be done to determine skin color, including:
