Edit: Just checked and some vendors offer 4 skin tone options (Pale White/Natural/Light Tan/Dark Tan), while other vendors only offer 3 options (Pale/Natural/Tan).

George's white/pale photo pretty much matches exactly what my pale WM158 looks like with standard CFL lighting on that note.
There's probably some variance in the colors each batch too I'd imagine.

Re: Which skin tones are which?
I wish the vendors would include more measurements and be less ambiguous in their descriptions. It should have been easy, but I found the process of choosing the right head and body incredibly difficult and had to continually switch between about five different vendors to compare bits of information and pictures with threads on this forum. Some the links don't even work, or the pictures are wrong, or they are too small. I ordered some wigs and one of them looks nothing like it does on the site because all you ever see are those postage stamp sized pictures of the wigs.
Re: Which skin tones are which?
Yes, it is always the same as the body - Skin color ALWAYS varies, no color (for example "Tan") is the same as the last batch "Tan" - meaning that the head and body are usually molded simultaneously in order to have no color differences between the head and the body. This is also the reason why "Tan" on one customer's doll might be darker or lighter than "Tan" on somebody else's. It's not very obvious, however sometimes it is like in this example:apec47 wrote:Hi, do the heads all have a certain skin color too?
Color: Normal (Customer 64BC97) Color: Normal (Customer 60BC97) However it also really depends on the light. As you can see above, the second doll looks much more yellowish when compared to the first one, even though it's the same skin color. However here is another picture of her, from a different angle, and as you can see the color changes:
So, no matter where you buy your TPE doll or who is even manufacturing her, there will be always slight differences in the color - not only because of the light, but also because of the way TPE is being pigmented. It's not as easy as having a recipe for a cake that always turns out the same way - there are too many factors like humidity, ambient temperature, batch of pigment powder et. that affects the color in the process.
I hope that more or less makes some sense
