GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Lastly, the normal reddish color of skin is attributed to the presence of oxygenated blood being transported through the arteries and capillaries. Certain skin colors may represent serious disease, including pallor (pale), cyanosis (blue), jaundice or icterus (yellow), gray, and hyperpigmentation (brown).

Detailed explanation-2: -The amount of melanin in the skin, the amount of UV exposure, genetics, the quality of melanosomes, and pigments present in the skin all play a role in racial variation. The different colors present in human skin are caused by 4 chromophores: carotenoids, hemoglobin, melanin, and oxyhemoglobin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Look at your jawline Oftentimes, your jawline is the best place to see your “pure”, unobstructed surface color. Because the jawline tends to be unaffected by typical skin conditions, it can be a great area to get a sense of your true color.

Detailed explanation-4: -If your blood lacks oxygen it can cause skin discolouration which is why those that suffer from anaemia, often notice that their skin becomes paler and sallower.
