New Skin Color Concept

I'm so excited that the development team announced today that they are going to work on skin colors for TS4 sims! This has been a concern since Day 1. I see many people suggesting that the developers use a color wheel (as already functioning in the game for Cats & Dogs) and others are suggesting that we go back to the TS3 method. However, I think a color wheel is clunky for skins (and makes inheriting skins clunky). The TS3 method was okay but the palettes were inconsistent and limited. There is an in-between.

I would like to suggest a 3-slider system for tone, complexion, and vibrancy. I got the idea remembering the color mixer for choosing a desktop theme on Windows 7.

3 SLIDERS

  • COMPLEXION
    Dark > Light
  • TONE (two palette options)
    Warm > Golden > Cool (natural)
    Red > Orange > Yellow > Green > Blue > Purple (supernatural)
  • VIBRANCY
    Ashy (Vlad) > Neutral > Bright


This way, when children are born/generated, they could inherit the tone one parent, the vibrancy of the other parent, and the complexion between both parents.
