Why the Standard Tests Fail on Brown Skin
The vein test was designed for fair skin. On warm brown skin, the veins at your inner wrist often read blue-green regardless of your actual undertone, because melanin in the surrounding skin absorbs and shifts how colour registers to the eye. This is why Indian women with deep brown complexions routinely get misread as neutral when they are strongly cool, or as warm when they are genuinely neutral. The problem is not your skin. The problem is a testing system calibrated to a baseline that does not include you.
