Skin color reproduction, controlled by preferred skin color based on memory color, has been studied mostly using real skins and photographs. As various display technologies were developed, skin color has become emphasized in various forms of facial expressions, such as animation faces. Ryan and Schwartz (Am. J. Psychol., 1956) reported that cartoon images helped perception more accurately than photographs. Tong et al. (Cogni. Neuropsychol., 2000) reported that cartoon faces made strong responses in FFA (fusiform face area) as much as human faces. In this study, we examined a relationship between facial expression form of animation and skin color judgment. In experiment 1, we compared skin color judgments of animation character's faces and that of the scrambled faces. Observers selected a skin color, which was perceived the same as the reference. In experiment 2, we compared the flat facial image (2D) and the shaded facial image (3D). The skin color’s judgment was found to be more sensitive with the normal face than the scrambled face, and with the 2D image than the 3D image. It was obtained that the skin color judgment was affected by face perception, and by shading features of facial images.
