The existence of the ideal skin color would be suggested, if the beauty of skin color is decided whether clothes color is well-matched or ill-matched to the skin color of wearing person. A final purpose of this study is to propose a systematic technique of the fashion color coordination as a color planning method in clothes field. First of all, verification has been conducted whether the “ideal skin color” as a standard exists or not. At the same time, the influence of the clothes color on the ideal skin color has also been examined.
In the experiment, it was attempted to present the “ideal skin color” by the method of adjustment by applying the color selection program using a computer system. As a result, the similar RGBvalues, though a little difference was admitted, were obtained on each background colr. On the other hand, the simultaneous contrast effect was confirmed by a comparison between the background color and the “ideal skin color”. Therefore, the exitence of clothes which make the skin color of everybody approach to the “ideal skin color”by the simultaneous contrast effect of its color, was suggested.
When the background color was assumed to be a standard of N5 (Munsell Value), the XYZ values of the “ideal skin color” Xs = 51, Ys = 48, and Zs = 32 was obtained.
