what is the average colour of people?
am drawing a naked outline of a person on which people are to mark where they feel pain.
what colour do you think the person should be (have contraints of aesthetics to think about as well as political correctness, body on a white background with microsoft grey and pale orange here and there)
currently going for a soft pinkish taupe
what do you think?

Re: what is the average colour of people?
honestly unless you are doing a michealangelo style portrait what does it matter?
also, I do not think it's possible to average the skin colour of all known races, there's a lot of them out there.
(comedy white as a sheet option for uk people)
What's it for anyway?

Re: what is the average colour of people?
being a fellow artise (&designer), are you going to draw this outline in any pecuilar way? will it just be the outline of the body?
what will the context be? ie: where will it be displayed? location can have some affect - as can the types of people who will view it / put their pain on it
well you have 2 ways of going about this - warm hues or cool hues. For this thing, something warm will prove more effective although a cold hue will relate more with the post-pain (the consequences of pain)
go for a pinky red

Re: what is the average colour of people?
I was going to suggest the same. It's funny madi & Androme2 came up with pink given it's a pretty universal colour for white skinned (often depicted as pink skinned) people, how's that not racists against blacks? Something along the lines of blue or green would be safe.

Just use the Vitruvian Man, and then if people complain they'll have to say that da Vinci is racist and not you.

Make a gradient, starting at white, to yellow, red, black, brown....
Oh wait... people might take offence if you start with white...
Brown, black red, yellow, white...
And put the gradient at an angle...
And perhaps also add blue/purple dots, for people who are suffocating... we wouldn't want to leave them out no?

Re: what is the average colour of people?
quite a pale grey would probably be ok, then, you can photocopy it as well with no colour difference \o/

Re: what is the average colour of people?
green or blue makes it look like a star trek extra
have decided on the pale orange
looks silly but not overly offensive

Re: what is the average colour of people?
I honestly don't think anyone will give a flying pygmy about the colour of a cartoon but if you're worrying that much just draw a pink person with long black hair slitty eyes and rubbery rips, everyone wins.

Re: what is the average colour of people?
I have to say, I thought this'd start off a benign thread about skin colour that quickely turned into a racial debate with 200% more Dante than most other threads.
Actually, i'm pretty indifferent. Carry on!

Re: what is the average colour of people?
make it a mediterreanean/north african colour, cos it's quite brown, identifiable to blacks, and people in the uk generally dig mediterreanean folk if you are really that bothered.

Re: what is the average colour of people?
Draw him/her white and then if anyone complains then tell them they're being racist towards us whiteys.
Emphasise the word "whiteys", and pretend it's a word you can find in a dictionary. Enough emphasis, and they won't check it and find out it's made up.
Do that thing black people do, where they flick their hand back and forth in front of their face. It's cool, AND gives you street cred!

Black on white, and by black I mean black
then you avoid all the problems as you just make it a black and white picture (universally accepted)

Re: what is the average colour of people?
here's another problem, is this person going to be male or female? you could be accused of feminism if you chose a woman or sexist if you chose a man

Going for green or blue would both avoid causing offence while also parodying political correctness, it would be the best choice imo.

Re: what is the average colour of people?
You know that picture of the guy saying "You're a FAG!" on the net.
Has Androme found another picture of the guy, without the afro, and put it in his avatar?
