    What Color Wonder products are available?


    Can I reuse my Color Wonder Paper?

    • You cannot reuse the same piece of Color Wonder paper twice.

  • What are skin tones?

    Your skin tone is the genetic amount of melanin, naturally occurring dark brown or black pigments, in the outermost layer of your skin. Skin tones can change over time for various reasons.


    What is your skin tone?

    There are 3 traditional skin tones: Light, Medium, and Deep.

    • Light or fair skin tone: Contains a small amount of melanin within the skin.
    • Medium skin tone: Contains a fair amount of melanin within the skin, is a neutral color, and has a beige appearance. This skin tone is often referred to as an “olive” color.
    • Deep skin tone: Contains a large amount of melanin within the skin.

    What are undertones?

    Undertones are the natural colors underneath the surface of your skin. Because undertones are under the surface of the skin, you can have the same skin tone as another person, but have a completely different undertone. Undertones are not based on skin tone. For instance, a light skin tone can have a warm undertone and a deep skin tone can have a cool undertone. Also, undertones remain the same, even when you tan. There are 3 traditional undertones: Rose, Almond, and Golden.

    • Pink, blue, and/or red hues under the skin = Rose, pink, or cool undertone
    • A mixture of warm and cool hues typically the same color as your skin tone = Almond, neutral, or olive undertone
    • Peach, yellow, and/or gold hues under the skin = Golden or warm undertone

    What is your undertone?

    You can identify your undertone by using the color of your veins. In natural light, what color are the veins under your skin on the inside of your arm or wrist?

    • Blue and/or purple veins = Rose or cool undertone
    • Colorless, same color as your skin, and/or a combination of blue and green veins = Almond or neutral undertone
    • Green and/or olive veins = Golden or warm undertone

    Tips for selecting your Colors of the World skin tone crayon color:

    • Check out the color panels on the side of the Colors of the World crayon box.
      • Match: Use crayon box color panels or create color swatches.
      • Select: Pick colors closest to your skin tone.
      • Color: Draw your #TrueSelfie with your unique colors!

    Another way to find your skin tone crayon is to color a small area on a piece of paper with the crayon colors closest to your skin tone. Compare the areas with the inside of your arm or wrist, and select the crayon color that best matches your skin tone.
