Title: Reelmagik Skin Samples
Post by: overdrive on October 09, 2013, 01:47:40 AM
I ordered skin samples from Reelmagik but not sure of color to choose. Being a guy of western European descent, I was thinking lighter shade like most guys get but these colors oddly #9 almost seems to match. I wouldnt expect a German guy to be that red, hence my confusion. When I put the samples on my chest #7 looks to match best (none of these areas ever see daylight), but since the prosthetic wont be on my chest I didnt include those pics. Lol.

Anyways, since its hard to see color well on photos I took 2 of them on my abdomen, with different shading. The bottom 2 pics are the samples shown on the inside of my upper thigh where as the top 2 are on my abdomen.

Thanks guys in advance!

9 is the best match under all the lighting conditions shown in the photos.

9 matches your skin better, but it might be worth bearing in mind that in reality, most people's genitals are a slightly darker colour than the rest of them. :)

Yeah but I really cant go any darker, I have the M10 sample too but that was instantly ruled out because it is really dark red and not even remotely close to my skin color. Just thought that was strange that the M9 skin color matches when the "standard" Caucasian is M5 and the ones I've seen on people with what appears to be the same skin color as me have been M5-M7. Being German descent I have what I considered average skin tone for a Caucasian. And while the M7 matches well on my chest area I definitely do see the thigh and abdomen color are a different shade than chest area with these samples next to both, though they look the same by just looking in a mirror. Lol

Definitely 9. 6 and 7 are too pale and 8 looks like its for skin with a more yellowish undertone (your undertone looks to be more reddish/pink).

When your matching colors your suppose to match it darkest part of your lower region, Without being to explicit as someone already said your genetalia is usually darker than any other part of your body, I glimpsed through every non expensive packer you could think of they won't match and that's coming from a black person and it's even worse,  Considering black people have alot of skin tones, I'm fairly light skinned as you can see in my avi, But in the lower I'm not just one color

I agree with the others, 9 is your best option.  I just received by RM about a month or two ago - before they started the color samples.  Congrats to you -
Otherwise,  I am happy with the product.  Haven't tried it out on anyone else and went up a size in pants to compensate for the girth. Very happy with the result outside of the coloring.
