database - Normalizing Human Skin Colors for User Interaction -


Some time ago I came to know that I am unclear (at least for me) (or this gender ? - Thanks @ Paul).

I am working for a pet project, I need my database schema to store a person's skin color, and I am thinking that there is a common standard present. All my life I have had " white ", " Caucasian ", " black ", " golden ", "< " Afro ", " Albino " and so on, but after some research in Wikipedia, I '

  • :
  • : It defines that everyone is wrong because these words can have different meanings:
  • : Again, skin or Hair color
  • : Again, skin or hair color
  • : "hairdo" ?!
  • :
  • Li>
  • Australian
  • Seriously, Mongoloid ?! I do not know the meaning of the English language in my native language (Portuguese) is the synonyms of the person who is suffering from ...

    There are some interesting additional information too : John Friedrich Blumenbach (1752-1840), one of the founders of some call scientific racism principles, came up with five color typology for humans: White people (Caucasian or white race ), More or less black people (Ethiopian or black race), yellow people (Mongolian or yellow race), cinnamon-brown or flame-colored people (American or red race) and brown people (Malay or brown race).

    Problems using the race ( awesome names were chosen and in addition to scientific racism ), it is important not to represent the skin color of a person ....

    Most people, however, do not know the scale of their von Luschan (myself included). Strong clearly specifying the color of the skin tone of the user but there may be some problems due to various color profiles used by the operating system / monitor.

    6-10 (light)

  • Von Luschan 1-5 (very light)
  • Von Luschan 11-15 (Intermediate).
  • Von Luschan
  • von Lucchan 22-28 (dark or "brown").
  • von Lucerne 29-36 (very dark or "black").
  • Because it can become very sensitive subject for some people, so I am thinking that what would be best is to use simple rules of how to store this information in a normalized database. And while avoiding complex and unfamiliar definitions such as Von Lucchan's scale, there is a globally acceptable standard to describe skin color?

    > are present for the same standards and how will you approach the skin tone terminology?

    I want to do something like Nintendo Wii and show only several samples of colors Even if the monitor is not calibrated, if a person sees them once on the screen, they should be able to make the right choice.

    Then you color and internal name and mining your data on it.
