The Monk scale includes 10 skin tones. Though other scales (such as those used by cosmetics companies) may include many more shades, [6] Monk claims that 10 tones balances diversity with ease of use, and can be used more consistently across different users than a scale with more tones:
Most snakes have extra broad scales on the belly, each scale covering the belly from side to side. The scales of all reptiles have an epidermal component (what one sees on the surface), but many reptiles, such as crocodilians and turtles, have osteoderms underlying the epidermal scale.
