Can I use Light Tan instead of Skin Tone?

The same difference applies the other way round: Light Tan is a little darker.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
