If you use the Search function and enter TT Tone or TT Skin Tone you'll see we've covered this several times. Check them out and don't worry about the colour, only you will be aware of it and the specs won't notice if you use it correctly.

well mandrake you may not believe me but my cousin used this on me when i was about 7 or 8.

he works at blackpool and there are loads of gimmick shops down there, he did it really fast but i could spot the annomally without my glasses and trust me im blind! you could see the change in colour.

I was wondering the same thing at school today. I have never seen a TT that isn't 'pale flesh'. Mind you even though my skin colour would come under that bracket my TT looks out of place but then the specs shouldn't see it anyway

It might be better to colour a 'pale' TT using make-up.
That way you can get exactly the right tone.

Tom Lauten is the person to advise (if he's around just now).

Oh, no.

Not another TT tone discussion.

To save your obviously tired fingers from using the 'search' function as suggested, I've done the hard work for you and got you a link:

The answer is certainly contained in the previous threads referred to. If you check the details with the various on-line suppliers, you'll see that darker tones aren't really catered for all that much but enquiring at those suppliers might be worth while as they'll know more about the stock and production situation.

Did you read the thread I pointed out?

It actually DOES answer your question, very elaborately.

I'd guess at least 90% of people here have a Vernet TT.

Do they match exatly skin tone? Extremely unlikey. But they certainly match well enough for you bulk standard bill switch, silk vanish, disappearing cigarette, salt production etc.

Skin tone does NOT matter. If you use the TT correctly then no one will know it is there.
