Build inclusive color tools for digital art and games
What Colors Are We? is a research-style project that defines a custom color space for simplified skin tones, built to make inclusive color selection easier in digital art and game development. Instead of offering a handful of preset shades or an overwhelming 16-million-color picker, it provides simple, documented equations that describe a broad range of plausible human skin tones in RGB space. The project includes a working Javascript color picker and sample procedural generation code, all offered openly for others to use and build upon. The author positions the work as a practical starting point, explicitly noting it is not authoritative, but designed to be good enough for common use cases like character creators and digital illustration. It is intended for developers, artists, and tool builders who want to represent diverse skin tones more inclusively without reinventing the color math from scratch.
