Abstract
A method of determining the color of the human skin based on the use of a no-contact photoelectric colorimeter specially designed for this purpose is described. The mean values of the color indices for the skin of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the forearm of 45 normal men and 35 normal women of the European race are given.
