I find fascinating how skin color is very obvious to eveyone but is incredibly difficult to get right when painting.

It's the undertones. Whites have an undertone of blue/red that's hard to get quite right if you just focus on the surface color. Learning about makeup helps.

It’s the green that everyone misses. Skin has a greenish undertone, a lot of the time.
