Our shades were inspired by the Human Pantone Project (Humanæ) – an endeavor by Angelica Dass to photograph and label every single skin tone in the world.

With over 4000 subjects to date, the Humanæ Project classifies each person’s skin tone according to the industry-standard Pantone color library. The intent is to challenge our preconceptions about race and skin color.

Social categories of black, white, and yellow are simply false. People from very different ethnic backgrounds often share the same exact pantone color. From millionaires to refugees, when we are stripped down to our bare skin, we are all just an alphanumeric code. You and I are not much different from each other.
