I am using a painting software to practice drawing the illustration of anime-style characters, but I am not yet good at coloring.

I don't know the color coordinates for the base color and shading color for light-skinned characters, so can anyone tell me exactly what the coordinates in R : G : B : are for those colors ?

Also, what color coordinates must we use to shade hair and clothes depending on the base color ? I'm still a noob and amateur on this, so can anyone teach me briefly here about these color coordinates ?
I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story.

We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine.

Usually there is a color wheel or color sliders or any other type of color picker. If there isn't, then you either have just not discovered it yet or you seriously need to change the software you're using lol. Not to mention there is variety even within light skin tones and it also depends on the lighting of the image. There is no way to just give you coordinates that would be always right.

Just use color picker or eyedropper.

Yes, there is a color wheel on my program, but I want to know what color coordinates other people are using when coloring light-skinned characters, so can you give me some good examples of what color to use ?

What R: G: B: numbers are most commonly used ? Just 2 or 3 skin tone examples would be good.

Guys, I want to use the 2 Eroge-style skin color themes for base color and 2 shade colors like in this picture here. Do you know the RGB Values for them including for the 2 shade colors ? : https://i.pinimg.com/564x/e0/39/48/e03948b92183d3f12c9d43daf45bbeb4.jpg

The 2 ones with [エロゲ配色」described on it. The problem is, I don't know whether to accurately say it is light yellow or light brown, so can you help me pinpoint the exact RGB values for those color schemes including for the 2 shade colors too, please ? In my paint software, the color wheel also has an option to type the RGB values.

I want to use the Eroge style skin color like above, so can you guys please help tell me the RGB values so that I can use them for painting on my original characters ?

not sure why you don't just use the eyedropper tool like others have suggested.

it's a pretty low quality picture too. these are only approximate.

Thanks ! Now I can try to practice making my own Hentai CGs for my own Visual Novel.
