    What color of the colors listed best describes the color of your skin?

    EDIT: I should have included White.

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    If you have numerous body colors, please add them all together and then choose.

    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    what about blue from shallow blood vessels, red from occasional scars etc in the skin, yellow-beige-white elsewhere, greenish look under the eyes when tired, and sometimes very strong tan in the summer... I guess if you mix all colors there are, you're supposed to get either white (if light) or brown (if pigments)????

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    There is no such thing as white! It's more of a beige... except for albinos, then I guess they'd be "white", no?

    Have to disagree there. Apart from myself I've seen plenty of people of celtic origin who if 'tanned' are white with freckles and untanned are white. And plenty of other celts who tan nicely (like my youngest siblings).
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    A light tan - admittedly, that's not a natural colour, it's only from when I went to Costa Rica, and it still hasn't fully worn off.

    Depends whether I'm a naughty boy and is getting spanked or not.
