>(No idea why you think other skin tones can’t be added later).

because why would we add further bloat and implementation complexity to something that is already bloated and complex to implement?

You believe that’s a reason to think it can’t be done?

not at all, of course. realistically the biggest impediment to adding more skin tones is that if the list of additional skin tones wasn't completely exhaustive, there would be public outcry. as it stands right now, the simple gradient scale is "good enough," so there isn't much impetus to add any more.

This is kind of how I felt when looking at the scale just now, because none of the 10 really look like me. Maybe it's supposed to be a round-down/up sort of thing, or maybe I should calibrate my display?
