Skin Tones Wheel (Hex-Style Shade Picker)
Need a quick skin tone for a character concept, palette study, or prompt? This wheel gives you a curated set of hex-style skin tone values—from lighter ranges like FFE8BC to deeper tones like 352D2B—plus an Unnatural wildcard for stylized looks.
How to use this wheel
- Pick a result for a single character, or run multiple picks to build a small palette.
- Use the outcome as a starting point, then nudge hue/saturation/value to match lighting and environment.
- Want more variety? Keep the defaults and add your own notes (e.g., “cool undertone”, “sunlit”, “rim light”) in the item text.
Make it feel like your workflow
- Edit items to match your project (portrait studies, concept art, UI avatars, etc.).
- Use weighted items to prefer a certain range without removing the rest.
- Turn on elimination mode when you want a set of unique results (great for group casts).
