Probably a 3, or maybe 2. Quite pale (burn easily in the sun), but not as pale as, say, Scandinavians typically are.

You pale-ass mofos! GET SUN!

I'm about a 4 right now, but when it gets to be about Spring or Summer, I'll probably be a 5.

I assumed this question was about natural skin-colour, rather than what sort of suntan you currently have. Thus a 5 would be, e.g., someone with an olive complexion (mediterranean or middle eastern, etc.), rather than a northern European type who has spent a lot of time under a sunlamp or on a beach.

2:

slightly yellow at times (long term kidney poorlyness)

at other times pinkish with white speckles (bizzare circulation / capillaries)

possible blue tinge from a distance due to veins sticking out. which doctors really like <inject>

that all makes me sound a bit, er, ill. i'm not. really

Heh, maybe a 2 or 3. I might even be a 4 under the correct lighting. :P

Given Fredrik's new chart, I'm more of a 6 to 7 depending on the light. Darker than I thought I was...

Think of my chart as what it'd look like in brightness 255.

Why? What are the benefits of being tan? (other than skin cancer)

Um, it's completely dependent on locale. Different Skintones are adaptive for different environmtans. Lighter skn is useful in colder regions where it provides added absorption of Vitamin C, because of lack of sunlight. Darker skin is useful in prevention of sun burn and heat in more intense regions, like the equator.

Not that it really matters anymore. Humans have adapted to live in any environment.

Tan != not being super pale :-P

IMO, tan is like, where I'd be if I got a little more sun.
