Could everyone please declare their colour so we can know whether they are a house boy or girl or not.

It's impossible to have discussions like this without knowing how sun-resistant people are.

Harry Belafonte had the advantage that he could see what colour Colin Powell is and therefore argue a reasoned position about Colin being a house boy.

Faultline, you'll have to take charge here! I recommend the ASTM colour chart as being scientifically sound, though we'd have to specify no sun exposure [people could wear a little patch over a specified skin section to protect their skin against light to avoid darkening and spoiling of the test].
