A Versatile, Spectrophotometer-Based, Quantitative, Visual, Bias-Reducing Method for Human Skin Colour Measurement and Classification

2026-07-31

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> We evaluated an inexpensive portable hand-held spectrophotometer for skin colour measurement and classification. Under standardised conditions, skin reflectance and colorimetric data were collected from 40 participants of diverse ancestral backgrounds at three anatomical sites: forehead (FH), right posterior forearm (FA), and right upper inner arm (RUA). Demographic and ancestral data, Fitzpatri...
