Yes Michelle, there are differences in palm skin tones, that's why I emphasized "Approximately", but as an emergency measure it beats relying on often faulty 'average' meter readings of beach or snow scenes and then wondering why the pictures are under exposed ("I don't understand what happened, there was plenty of light and the sun was out and I used ISO 200 film and I had the cammera set on 'automatic' and that's the last time I'll buy a Minolta, Olympus, Canon, Nikon, Sony, or whatever, camera, they take lousy pictures, they're no good")...

See, it's the equipment's fault, not the operator who has no clue how to use it...
