Approved Skin Hue Tags

Post by Kor »

Skin hue tags are intended to be used for humanoids that would typically be player characters or non-player characters. For traditional human type skin tones, only the light flesh and dark flesh tags should be used. If the shade is too difficult to determine which color tag fits, then tag both colors/hues that apply. The same would apply to any creature whose color is difficult to determine (such as grey versus green) on an orc.

The colors listed below are intended to cover the whole range of the color palette associated with the tag (i.e. olive or lime would both be green).
  • light flesh Represents human-type minis(including elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc.) who have a lighter flesh hue.
  • dark flesh Represents human-type minis(including elves, dwarves, gnomes, etc.) who have a melanin-rich, darker flesh tone,
  • black Represents non-human-type minis that have colored surfaces other than flesh, such as fur or scales. Not to be used as a tag for human-type minis.
  • blue Represents any humanoid with a blueish skin tone.
  • brown Represents non-human-type minis that have colored surfaces other than flesh, such as fur or scales. Not to be used as a tag for human-type minis.
  • green Represents any humanoid with a greenish skin tone.
  • grey Represents any humanoid with a greyish skin tone.
  • obsidian Represents a human-type mini that has pure black skin, such as traditional depictions of drow.
  • orange Represents any humanoid with an orangish blueish skin tone.
  • purple Represents any humanoid with a purplish skin tone.
  • red Represents any humanoid with a reddish skin tone.
  • tan Represents non-human-type minis that have colored surfaces other than flesh, such as fur or scales. Not to be used as a tag for human-type characters.
  • white Represents non-human-type minis that have colored surfaces other than flesh, such as fur or scales. Not to be used as a tag for human-type minis. (Exception: some human-type minis do have pure-white skin -- if the mini is painted with pure white skin, then also use this tag in addition to the light flesh tag.)
  • yellow Represents non-human-type minis that have colored surfaces other than flesh, such as fur or scales. Not to be used as a tag for human-type characters.

Tread carefully with "black" as a tag on anything I think
