Skin Tone

You can choose a skin tone for any realistic TPE sex doll. This is a basic modification available across every brand without exception. Pigment is added to the material itself at the casting stage. In other words, skin tone isn't a paint job on top, it's the colour of the TPE itself, so unlike the layers of detailing applied on top, it doesn't wear away or wash off over time.

Standard palette

For most brands, the palette comes down to 4-5 base tones, from light to dark.

Tone names and their exact shades differ from brand to brand. You'll find the current palette for a specific model in the customisation section of the product page.

Skin tone in studio photographs depends heavily on lighting and post-processing. The same "Natural" tone can look different between two brands. So when choosing a skin tone, follow our guide below.

How to choose a skin tone

  1. First, look at the studio photographs of the dolls to get your overall impression of that skin colour.
  2. Go into the customisation section or the brand's article and look at that particular skin tone. Photos for options are always taken in neutral light, to show the visual as objectively as possible.
  3. Most importantly, look at non-studio photographs (real-life photos) of different dolls with that skin tone. Real-life photos are taken on an ordinary camera in normal, neutral light. They give the best impression of what the skin tone actually looks like in real life.

A feature of TPE

Over time, a TPE doll's skin tone can shift slightly. The material releases oils, and with improper care or storage it may darken slightly or develop patches. The pigment itself doesn't go anywhere, this isn't fading of the tone, it's an external effect on the material. Regular talcum powder treatment, non-dyeing clothing and proper storage keep the skin tone even for years.

Which tone suits whom

This comes down entirely to your own preference. The one recommendation stays the same: go by real-life photos, and browse a good number of different models to see the skin tone under different lighting.

Works in combination

Skin tone is the foundation that every other appearance modification builds on: areola colour, vagina colour, freckles and ultra-realistic body painting. Choose the shades of these details in harmony with the skin tone: the lighter the skin, the lighter the detail shades should be, and vice versa. It's best to look at studio photos, since that's where the brand has already found the most harmonious combinations.
