Your choice of skin color?

Hmm, for natural colors, I tend to like paler skintones. Pure white I'm a bit iffy on, kinda depends on the doll, but I usually gravitate toward the lighter shades of peach. I'm also a big sucker for completely unnatural skin colors like blue, purple, pink, etc.

 

I normally would like to get my dolls as normal skin, but if there's a option for grey skin, I'm sold! Also, Soom's bronze is very beautiful.

 

I love grey skin. Well, depends on what my character would be but definitly, i'm in love with unusual skin tones ^^
I usually love white skins.

 

I prefer to Normal. Because it gives more freedom to the image, but at the same time is not as fast change color like white.
In fact, I have three dolls: Norman, white and light tan.
Light tan, since 2003, has acquired a green tint that I do not like. Correct is difficult.

 

I'm really into white skin at the moment. I find it easy to work with and I just love all the different versions of white skin. I do have one doll that is normal skintone tho, but the ones I order now is only white skin.

 

I own all three skin types (normal, tan, and white). I prefer normal, honestly, but every time I see a tan doll I instantly want it. I also really like the different colored skins (green, grey, etc).

 

I love unusual skin tones (blue, green, purple) but the normal skin tones are nice too. I'm still looking for a tan doll to add to my collections haha, and I also have two grey resin dolls as well that are awesome

 

For my own dolls, it really depends on the character. My cast is pretty varied, from pale white to really dark brown to completely unnatural ones like grey and pink. So far I've only owned "natural" skinned dolls though (my Peach Gold girl is the darkest doll I've ever bought, and the baby pink Soomlet is pretty close in value to the natural skin tone, just.... pink). Mostly because I'm a huge chicken and I don't want to deal with my beloved dolls in the darker skin tones going really funny colours. ;_;

I'm sure I'll eventually get over that though, because I think photographs of dolls in darker skin tones just look so gorgeous. Even photographing my PG Bianca is an entirely different experience from photographing my NS dolls - you can see every little detail of her sculpt, it's like she glows like a real person, even without a face-up. Paler skin tones are a lot harder to photograph and make them "pop".

 

Well, it all depends on the character I'm making a doll to be, of course. I have all natural skintones on my dolls ranging from NS to dark tan. That being said, my personal preference on doll resin colour is tan. I like the way face-ups look on them. I like the way they photograph. They're very much my favorite.

 

i like many skin color... except normal...

<--- strange taste

 

I really love Iplehouse's Peach Gold and a couple of company's tan skins, but the thing is, I generally don't choose a doll based on skin tone. I usually just fall for a doll on the marketplace and get it!

 

If it helps I have a Limhwa Leda 43cm in white skin that I purchased in December of 2011 and I haven't had any yellowing. I don't expose her all day to direct sunlight but I also don't keep her in the shadows all the time as I do photo-shoots with her and the sunlight does bounce around in my bedroom throughout the day.

 

I have dolls in white, yellow, normal, peach-like and tan. I don't really have a preference because it depends on the doll.

However, lately I have been really loving the tan skin on my Soom Gena, especially once I got a body blush done on her.

 

I think I prefer either white or normal skin. One of my dolls have white skin and she is lovely in it. But when I got my other doll, also in white, he was too white. He looks dead and that look was not what I was going for. So my next drool object has normal skin. =D

 

Although I've had WS dolls in the past and admire them a lot (I love how ethereal they can look), generally I am a NS person. I suppose it just works best for my characters and whatnot, and I know how to deal with NS.

However, I have "secretly" been in love with tan and dark skin dolls for years, I think they're so insanely beautiful, but none ever seemed like they could have a place in my life... Until Delf Claus in Real Skin Brown. I can't even consider that doll in any other skin tone, because the RSB is just PERFECT. It has an appeal that seems just a little bit more special than NS, that exotic beauty.

 

I like a variety of skin tones, people come in lots of pretty colors and so should dolls.

 

I prefer yellow, because my first doll has turned this glorious peach color, and I worry about my white skin doll turning green. I do have a pink skin 72 cm doll, but he looks sunburnt to me for some reason. And my littlest one is pink but it's a more beige pink, almost 'yellow'?. I generally chose yellow over all, because I like the tone, the photographic quality and so forth. And I think, psychologically, a cold hard doll to me, just looks warmer with the yellow skin. My white skin doll is a pain to photograph because he's so white! I love my "bright tan" Anglesdoll, because he needs so little paint on his face, while my white skin doll needed layers of detail painting to make him look 'alive'. I would like a darker tan doll, but ouch that extra money, and then he wasn't available any more. Stupid limited edition.

 

I prefer the natural skin...another Iplehouse fan

 

usually i prefer natural skin tone above white....to me, white just makes them seem like dead people >>;;; i don't mind darker skin tones though! i'm totally in love with pipos' sienna skin! *A* ugh! it's so gorgeous!

 

I can't really say I have a "preferred" skin tone. Looking over my current collection, my dolls range from paper white (Belle) to light tan (Cherry) and just about everything in between. I don't really do a lot of darker-skinned dolls, but I don't have a color preference per se. It just depends on what the doll's character calls for.
