What is skin of color? The tent is large, encompassing many ethnic and racial groups, including Asians, Hispanics, Middle Easterners, Native Americans, Pacific Islanders, and those of African descent. Although these individuals characteristically have Fitzpatrick phototypes IV, V, and VI, the range of skin tones is infinite, producing a spectrum of colors throughout the world. In addition to skin tones, there is a wide range of hair textures, from thin, oily, and straight to extremely curly, dry, and thick.
