    Default At which point do Europeans start considering a skin color to be dark?

    From numbers 1 to 6, where does it start?


    How about between these guys? (Central Asian, Central American, and Central European)

    At 4.

    And the guy on the very left on the second picture is too dark for European standards, while the guy in the middle has a borderline skin tone (about the darkest skinned that some southern Europeans can be, but a very minority of them, and generally accompanied with more European features).

    Ahhh, then I'm guessing 3 would be medium, 2 would be light, and 1 would be fair for you guys right?

    No European has 4 honestly. Even the vast majority of MENAs dont. Most MENAs are 2-3 but a dit browner and less red.

    So I guess by European standards, 1 is fair, 2 is medium, 3 is dark, 4 is non-European dark. By world standards (gradient from actual white to black), 1 is fair, 2 is light, 3 is medium, and 4 is dark.
