Reel Magick has updated to offer many skin tones (I'm sure you could find one to match), if you feel like spending $500+
Personally I just deal with it and go for the "asian" or "caramel" tone packy that's like twelve or fifteen bucks. It's not like I sit around looking at it all day. Oh, I hadn't seen it mentioned but there's also a "Dj knows dick" you might check out.

Thats you man but when I look down there I wanna see something that matches my skin tone, And since I'm in highschool you know how people act. I mean I'm just saying its bad enough that I don't have the right part but the least they can do is realize that everyone is the same color.

Something that has 5-7 color options might work out for you. YOu are not going to get a very exact color match unless you go with some company like RM. They are going to be able match you pretty well. All that said, you know these things don't match Caucasians very well either. I don't mean that it is exactly an identical situation as some companies seem not to even try to get close to colors that POC could use, like MASHO. If you can't get a fair match with 5-7 colors, then maybe you have unrealistic expectations, perhaps. These things are not skin. A prosthetic should be a pretty good match though since they have a palette of 15-20 colors.

You need to get used to the fact that these things can only be as possible as a prosthetic because thats all they are. Go through color palletes and pick the one that matches best because as of right now thats the best you're going to get.
There are many men who have a penis that is lighter/darker/two toned. There's no such thing as a perfect penis, work with what you have available to you.

We get that it's hard to find non-white packers, I think all jay is trying to say is even white guys who have lots of options can't find a perfect match. Packers I've seen don't match my skin tone well, but I've accepted that sorta of close is all I can manage at the moment. The few packers that have varying shades may not match you, but they don't match many white guys either, but something will be close.it sucks but you may have to settle for something similar, not perfect. Same as surgeries- they may not be perfect but guys either find one good enough for them or decide to go without.

I understand that and I did not say it was but if your gonna use something to ease the dysphoria, your gonna expect it to match.

My only point was that black just don't have one skin tone or two, we have multiple tones especially as I already said being mixed, so its really hard alot of white guys don't really have that problem, Ive rarely heard of a white guy complain about his packer Ive seen packers for white guys that would actually match, Unlike a lightskin black dude this is why Ive held off, If your gonna make something thats gonna ease dysphoria realize that everyones skin tone is different. I already know what my tone would be its darker on my lower area.

Yes, I definitely agree about that. Most esp with packers. I actually did say this. I think once you get to prosthetics, you REALLY should be able to get a more appropriate match, if you want to go this direction. If there are 17-19 colors (or even just 7), you should be able to get something close. I am sure that RM and other companies will work with you.

I understand how it is, Brandon. I've been looking up packers and can't find quite the right skin tone. I'm mixed race; a lot of the caramel ones are too light and don't look right.
