The Wordsmith's Forge

I find white-people-skin annoying to describe because it's the such a wishy-washy color. It's not white. It's not even a shade of white, like cream or ivory (or mashed potatoes, or mayonnaise). It's a light yellow-orange. "Pale peach" is close. Apple sauce is close-ish too, although "the inside of an apple" is way too pale unless one is describing a Caucasian vampire or corpse. Baked (and not dyed) marzipan is probably about right too.
