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
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.

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
