With that - skin tones compare...
So far, comments have been helpful! Thanks, folks! I decided to sit down and play with the skins and the skin color sliders to see how close I could get some skins to look like others.
I also perused my sales statistics to see which skin might be popular. At a glance, it seems that Cinnamon is the most popular skin tone for Entice. The rest aren't far behind. I'm tempted to keep Cinnamon because of this.
In any case, my experiment went like this.
The biggest problem is each skin has a gap of "light/dark" that the next skin can't quite reach. It's close, but not exact. Latte and Cream are very similar. While Latte can look like Cream, Cream canNOT look like Latte. I tried it, it just didn't pan out.
Then I tried to see if Champagne could resemble Latte. Indeed, I got close.
Next was Almond. I'm kind of a fan of it, I don't know why. Almond didn't make a very good Cinnamon, but Cinnamon scaled back to make a somewhat convincing Almond. The skin lost a bit of color saturation, but thus is the process here.
Lastly, Mocha and Truffle battled it out. I knew I was keeping Espresso, so I didn't have to fiddle with that. Mocha made a pretty good Truffle. It's not as dark, of course, but it was more "red" like Truffle is.
Below are sample images of the experiment:

As you can see, they're close! Now, this does mean that Cinnamon turned into Almond won't be able to go as light in color as Almond could; in all cases, the color slider was maxed out one way or the other in order to reach the other skin's tone.
With this particular arrangement, Latte, Almond, and Truffle would be removed, leaving Glow, Cream, Champagne, Cinnamon, Mocha, and Espresso.
I will mull over this before deciding, but it seems like the logical way to go, given these color tests.
More later!
