Abstract
A Chinese skin colour database is established based on measurements taken
from nine bodies areas of 202 Chinese individuals to move towards accurate skin
colour reproduction. The colour appearance of each skin point is predicted, and a
comprehensive colour gamut for Chinese skin is determined. A consistent colour shift
between facial and arm colours is identified, in which facial colour tends to be
more reddish, more colourful, and darker than arm colour. Moreover, Chinese females
are found to have lighter, paler, and more yellowish skin than Chinese males.
Variations in Chinese skin colour are quantified, and body area differences and
gender differences are shown to have significant effects on Chinese skin colour.
