A little thread about tan colours

I love tan colors! I got my Lillycat Ellana in dark tan and she is so beautiful! I also have a minifee in tan, she's pretty, but I like my Ellana's dark tan more

 

Does anyone have a comparison photo with Minifee in tan, and Myou in tan or coffee?

 

I think pw and volks's tan skin are pretty. I have a LUTS real skin tan, but's looks really yellow in dark brown.

 

I wish FairyLand did darker skin tones. I'd really like a LittleFee in a tan color at least, but I never see it being offered.

 

I hear you. I jumped on the tan f65 release, but I wish they offered a dark tan as well, like iplehouse ebony, or twigling raw umber (or even iple dark brown for that matter!) someone dyed a feeple60 that colour once and she looked amazing.

 

I love tan colors because I always feel the make up looks better!

 

It's a shame too that FairyLand's tan is barely darker than the default skin tone.

 

Fairyland's tan seems to vary between batches. My tan Cupid is noticeably darker than my NS Pukisha.

 

I love tan dolls, and nearly every shade of tan aside orange ones. I especially have a soft spot for very dark tan, like granado chocolate.
I don't really like Ringdoll tan (too orange) and previous Supia tan (same reason). In the contrary, I love fairyland rosy tan and dollshe/dollstown different shade of tan from pure skin, from copper oriental to tan. I never try the Ebony, but it seems to be a gorgeous dark tan.

 

Yes!
I currently only have one Sunlight girl but if all the stars aligned, I had a big enough house and the Mother SD blessed me with the opportunity I would totally have a few more.
My favorite tan color has to be VOLKS Shadow skin but I also really like the cooler tan colors that some other companies have put out in recent years.

 

I'm currently waiting on an Impldoll Iris in dark tan (still 5-6 months away at least ) and I'm so excited, but also slightly nervous, as I could barely find a single photo of that mold in that colour online, and I know dark resin is the worst offender when it comes to defects/flaws/etc, so part of me is a little scared that after such a long wait she'll be a disappointment, but I'm hoping my excitement for my 1st real BJD outweights any of that, and in some ways small imperfections could be an interesting character trait for her or make her feel more unique and help me bond with her. Always look on the bright side, yknow?

 

Tan dolls are my favorite because they look closest to my own skintone. But I'm afraid of buying them because tan resin can be so fragile in terms of retaining its color. I've seen tan dolls turn spotty, get a green hue, all kinds of things like that.
A friend's Dollshe boy in Copper tone (batch of 2015) turned weirdly green in less than a year, while it took years and tears for my old white resin Dollshe boy to turn a bit greenish. Maybe it all depends on the resin and the company, but the risk of having a doll that I wouldn't know how to fix is too high for me.

 

I know iplehouses’s like 2010 Ebony looks basically new 11 years later! I also have 20...16? Dollshe caramel that doesn’t look different, even though the head is 2 years younger (it’s honey resin, which is supposed to make a difference..) my other tan dolls are too new for me to be able to give too much Feedback, but I’ve seen some really stable ones!

 

Thank you for sharing that about the Iplehouse BJDs. I love their tan resin colors and have a few dolls of theirs on my wishlist. I hope light brown and special real resins have those same qualities as ebony resin.
11 years in very impressive! I've never seen a doll over 5 years that hasn't had a noticeable change in tone.

 

Can confirm! My best friend has an original Cocori and she's amazing. Big kudos to Iplehouse on their dark resins!

 

I know their glow SR is stable. I got a girl in it in 2018, who I don’t think has changed colour at all. And Their Dark Brown is gorgeous (but that doll’s less than a year old, so no comment on stability of colour!) so far I’m impressed at the stability of their resin!

 

I absolutely love tan dolls, and it’s my next to-by doll as soon as I can figure out a good hybrid combination rip. I really want the new Impldoll 1/4 plump girl body in tan, but I don’t particularly like any of their 1/4 heads so I’m desperately trying to find something that’s compatible or something I like enough to warrant the extra cost of getting the Impldoll body made in custom resin (assuming they still offer that service).

if anybody knows of anything, all help would be greatly appreciated

I love love loveeee tan and brownskin dolls but I am afraid of blowing money on a doll only for it to take a change of color. A sickly green doll is not on my wishlist.
I was somewhat interested in a vinyl darkskin doll (which brand is off topic so I won’t say), Volks also has made a darkskin doll but it was the limited Anthy doll :/ I’ve heard of some brands with resin that lasts longer but I’m still a bit too nervous to bite the bullet.

 

I’m such a fan of cooler but darker tans, and it feels so hard (for me at least!) to find them! The carding system BJD companies have for skin show just don’t work for me, and I don’t know why artists don’t put the resin color on their posts…

right now I am obsessed with Fanff’s Chocolate color, but I don’t have a character for it
