| | Human skin color - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In considering the color of human skin in the long span of human evolution, Jablonski and Chaplin note that there is no empirical evidence to suggest that the human ancestors six million years ago had a skin color different from the skin color of today's chimpanzees—namely pale-skinned under black hair. | | | The evolution of the different skin colors is thought to have occurred as follows: the haired ancestor of humans, like modern great apes, had light skin under their hair. | | | Jablonski and Chaplin proposed an explanation for the observed variation of untanned human skin with annual UV exposure. |

| | Jackson Lewis - Skin Color Bias Is Growing as a Basis for Discrimination Claims |
| | Skin tone bias is not unique among people of color; whites also can equate darker skin with a "negative cultural stereotype." Yet, there is a great deal of uncertainty over whether discrimination based on skin tone is even illegal, although the EEOC clearly takes the position it is. | | | The unlawful conduct is predicated not on a person's specific race or nationality, but on the shade of his or her skin, often involving disputes between people of the same race and among individuals who act on cultural biases based on whether a person's skin tone is lighter or darker. | | | Proving a case of skin tone discrimination may be difficult since, like the government, most employers do not maintain data on employees' skin color. |

| | Skin Color Model |
| | In order to segment human skin regions from non-skin regions based on color, we need a reliable skin color model that is adaptable to people of different skin colors and to different lighting conditions [1]. | | | A total of 32500 skin samples from 17 color images were used to determine the color distribution of human skin in chromatic color space. | | | Luminance may vary across a person's face due to the ambient lighting and is not a reliable measure in separating skin from non-skin region [2]. |

| | Laser Skin Resurfacing |
| | Those with dark skin pigmentation may experience hyperpigmentation or depigmentation of their natural skin color after laser resurfacing. | | | Unlike other resurfacing methods, lasers not only exfoliate the surface of the skin, but they also tighten the skin’s collagen fibers, thereby restoring some of the skin’s elasticity. | | | The Variable Pulse YAG laser alternates between pulses that destroy tissue with pulses that heat the skin, and this process also resurfaces the skin as effectively as CO but with fewer side effects. |
