"Using this scale, I am sure that nobody is 'black,' and absolutely nobody is 'white,'" says artist Angélica Dass.

Excerpt:
How many colours are there in the human rainbow? By Angélica Dass's count, at least 4,000. Since 2012, the Brazilian artist has been photographing people of every color and matching each subject’s skin tone to hues from the Pantone printing color chart to codify a unique chromatic inventory.
The project, titled 'Humanæ,' has traveled the world and is featured in this month’s issue of National Geographic, which focuses on the idea of race as a social construct, rather than a biological one.
