Skin tone is HIGHLY subjective. The reality (actual scientific skintone) varies strongly from person to person and from one region/ethnicity to another. Cultural expectations/biases/preferences vary strongly from one culture to another. Color is relative within a frame (skin may look too magenta when the model is lying in a field of green grass vs. in a field of purple flowers - even if the RGB of the skin is the same in each). Finally Industry/Category standards vary (fashion/portrait/fine-art) and technological possibilities vary over time (what you can do with film responses changed over the years and now what can be done with IR cutoffs, ICC profiling, and Photoshop has changed over the years.
This is why I could not live without the Skin Tone section of the Color Editor in C1. You can roll-your-own skin tone in a few minutes and then in the future preview/apply various presets with a single click.
