Deep & Rich Skin Color Palette

A dedicated study of deep skin — mahogany, red-brown, golden umber, and neutral espresso, each undertone given its own rich band, then closed by a row of lighter sheen tones for rim light and highlight. Deep complexions are too often flattened to a couple of dark swatches; this gives them the same range of value and undertone the lighter end usually gets.
