    My ass is M2, but the exposed parts when tanned are M8/M9.
    It depends from the sun. I spent two weeks at Seychelles and i became M9 by default.

    I never actively try to get a tan but when you get a rare good summer here or I go somewhere with a decent climate then I can get about m7 pretty easily, If I were to lay out and try to get a tan or spend some time on a nice beach for a few days then probably m8, not much higher though.

    I'm normally lighter than M1 (more white, less pink), when I try to tan (which I don't do often) I burn, but my farmer/cyclist tan is Golden bronze up.

    I inherited the lightest skin color you can get. My face is very freckled & my skin is transparent where you can see my veins.

    This is my arm right now, and I've been tanning 30-45 minutes a day for the last few months with little results, all that happens is I get sun burnt really bad.

    The same with me. Except the only part of my body that have ever been tanned is my arms. Pitiful, I know. My mom always tan to golden bronze during summers but goes back to whitey skin during winters.

    I disagree, you have wax skin and wax skin =/ fair skin.



    The upper left and bottom right picture look like they have wax-like skin meanwhile the upper right and bottom left clearly have fair skin.

    My skin tone is a Light Neutral, but I can go to a M5 if tanning for a very long time but it quite tough to do so. Maybe it could be to do with my Breton or Normand heritage (even though I know alot of fellow French who can tan pretty go even when Lighter or Medium featured) but not sure on that one.

    Natural shade, likely M-3...tan anywhere from M-7 - M-10 depending upon exposure, though my nose can get pretty close to M-11.

    However, I am more on the Winter Color scale.

    My wife is usually a shade or two lighter than me.

    Face, fore arms, lower legs usually golden bronze, I’m freckled but not fair skinned but I tend to burn on parts of the body I don’t usually expose to the sun.
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
    Nietzsche

    To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
    Heraclitus
