Today I noticed that the color of my hands is the same as the wood paneling on our porch, which is pine with a honey-maple stain. So now I can say my skin color is honey-maple (on pine?). It used to be white-grey this time of year, so this is a substantial improvement.

Maybe you need to take some time off from work and come south for awhile.
haha, well I am heading south in a few weeks, to Texas. however, I don't think my skin color will change much, as I have too much English/Scottish heritage. I have native American too, but sadly I didn't inherit those genes as much as some of my other family members.
Aren't we supposed to take on a greenish or orange tint because of all the leafy vegetables and beta carotene we eat? Maybe you are benefiting from the beta carotene.
I have a dark complexion, probably from my eastern European family roots.
yes, indeed. I"m thrilled by my honey-maple skin color. It really is much better looking than my past palid white-grey color. And I've been asked twice this winter where i got my tan. ---even though compared to you folks down south, I am very light. That's what happens when your skin is not exposed to the sun for 4 months. :)

The sun is only good in moderate doses. I am probably out in it too much, but think my dark complexion protects me. Getting a darker tint from eating right is the way to go.
Ah, neat! Supposedly, eating lots of nutrients gives the "organge" glow or tint to skin. I'm not sure if I have it since I've sort of always had a tinge to my skin. It's hard to tell when you see yourself everyday!
It may not be as noticeable when you live in a sunny location. I notice it most in winter when my skin loses all it's tan (I live in Wisconsin). Also, maybe I just notice it more because of my light skin color. Doctor's used to think I was anemic and do blood tests whenever they saw me (ironically, taking more of it in their concern). I wasn't, just pale. But it wasn't a pretty shade of pale, like it is now. :)
