Topic	Why do so many RPGs get dark skin wrong?
BB_mofo 06/05/23 10:25:11 PM #9:	Jiek_Fafn posted... Because they just use a color slider, but that's not how skin works in reality. It's not even how lighter skin tones works, but it's not as noticeable. They'd need to address it more like they do hair, with multiple colors for undertones and highlights stuff. I've also noticed sliders that desaturate any color hue when it gets to a certain darkness gradient. The only reason I can see for this is to save memory by constraining the color palette in-game. So instead of having a very dark blue (a cool skin tone) or dark red hue (a warm skin tone), like with normal dark skin, you end up with a very dark grey. --- "But who prays for Satan?
