A recent investigation of the variation in spectral reflectance and chromaticity of the flesh tones of various individuals is described. Spectrophotometric reflectance measurements were made on the face, arms and hands of several individuals having different complexions and degrees of sun tan. Spectro-radiometric measurements were made of many phases of daylight. The variations in chromaticity of fleshtones due to daylight variations were calculated. The reflectance of the flesh was computed in terms of the response of an exposure meter to determine the exposure constant for reflected-light readings taken on the human face.
