Bobobie skin tones

Postby Hiro_heart » Wed Dec 02, 2020 12:29 pm

I have a nagging feeling I asked this already, but a search did not bring it up so I may have asked on a facebook group. I have a character that I think Bobobie Ariel would match perfectly, but I can't seem to find a reliable source for comparing skin tones. She has dark grey skin which can be translated to either the lilac/purple or blue skin tone mayhap, but still I'd like the best possible pictures of the different tones on the doll if possible. Any sources you'd recommend? Have a Bobobie or similar in this color already?

I've got dolls in both color blue, and I think you'd be better off with the lilac.

Thank you both.

The trouble with the one that shows all colors is I have a hard time imagining the color actually applied as opposed to a bunch of swatches on a black background, the black throws me off, but I am leaning towards the lilac as well as a base to maybe do some heavy make up to bring it closer to my vision. Might look into full body but, eh, I'm no pro by a long shot, better an approximation that looks half-way decent than an attempt that ruins the whole doll when I'm just an amature.
