Interesting that the emoji council adapted it for the skin tone variations in emojis:

"The Fitzpatrick scale is also the basis of skin color in emoji, with 5 modifiers according to the Fitzpatrick scale (types I and II merged)."


Well, sort of. They discriminated against types I and II.


I do wonder why they merged two tones
