At the moment, tanned. In Swedish, the shade would be called "solkysst", which means "kissed by the sun". I.e. a moderate, "healthy" type of tan, not some sort of red crabby thing or that solarium orange one can sometimes see on some human prunes.

My body lotion has a type of glittery substance in it, so it's somewhat radiant. I like it.

Turquoise.

they have medication for that. *nod*

also, it reminds me of the rednecks around here who in an effort to try not to look racist start making up colors for people

"I love all people, whether they be black or white or blue or purple"

apparently the purple people are loveable but the brown ones.......notsomuch :p

Brown. I'm normally a lighter shade of tan, but at the moment I'm in Hawai'i, so I'm darker than normal.

Taking a shower could do as well. My T-shirt is turquoise and as I had to take a 300-km ride in an uncooled coach the turquoise, well, stuck in my skin. Normally I would call it peach.

Unevenly tanned. I've been working outside for the entire summer, and, weather permitting, I've been doing so with my shirt off. As a result, my shoulders and chest have been burned relatively dark, whereas places such as my sides and the undersides of my arms are still too pale for my liking.

Also, due to the terrain of my work environment, I've been forced to wear jeans and rubber boots all the time, so everything below my waist is more or less pasty white.

Very very pale peach (with freckles that are sort of a reddish brown), which turns rather bright red in the sun. But currently, since I am under the weather, I am somewhat green around the edges.

Basic celtic blood; I'm pale. The effect isn't helped by the fact I've spent the last few days working overtime at Somerfield, and hence haven't actually seen sustained sunlight....:p

I have a two toned tan going on. I work outside so I get allot of sun, however the place I work has strict PPE (personal protective equipment requirements). I have to wear gloves, safety goggles, a hardhat, Nomex (fire resistant) coveralls and steel toed boots. So while my cheeks and neck are a glorious tan, the rest of me is as pasty as can be.

Eh... I'm a pretty normal Salmon color. In darker clothing, I tend to look a bit more to the pale-white side, and in brighter color, I tend to look more orange. It does make selecting clothing for LARP's a bit difficult, because I do Vampire: The Masquerade on Saturday nights, and I'm limmited in what colors I can choose if I want to look like a convincing blood sucking creature of the night.

About as white as you can be without being considered an albino.

i'm not sure i've ever seen my skin as it is so completely hidden under my rich pillage of lime green fur. kind of a dusty olivish light avacado lime, that makes it easy for me to hide in the foliage.

I second this colour. In danish it is called "Kysset af solen"

I'm anywhere from pink-beige to toast brown depending on the sun. I tan very dark(my puerto rican heritage showing through).

But I'm often coated with dark browns or black. :)

My normal color is your usual caucasian flesh tone but, thanks to my hispanic half, I tan very easily.

The problem is that since I drive south to work in the morning and north to go home, the left side of my car always faces the sun. Combine that with the fact that the A/C in my car doesn't work, and the result is that my left arm is noticeably darker than my right arm.

In places the sun never shines, a fish belly white. But I tan easily and never burn. I get rather olive, odd considering my lack of Mediterranean heritage. My father has the same type skin and is mostly German and Native American. (Cherokee)
