Skin Tone Matching

For this assignment, we were asked to select or create a fabric color that closely matched a specific skin tone. I was given a reference photo of the woman shown below and tasked with finding a fabric swatch that accurately reflected her complexion. To achieve this, I experimented with color mixing and used RIT dye to custom-dye the fabric until I reached a tone that best matched her natural skin color. The process required careful observation and multiple dye adjustments to capture the subtle undertones present in her complexion.
