Calemerian skin colours, in Chlouvānem usage, are grouped in eight major definitions, none of them coming even close to an absolute majority (unless the ''lugaṣṭṇīṭah'' and ''hailaṣṇīṭah'' groups are taken as a single one).<br/><small>Small numbers in brackets after the definitions roughly indicate its range in the [[w:Von_Luschan%27s_chromatic_scale|Von Luschan chromatic scale]].

All names are bahuvrihi compounds with the latter element being ''ṇīṭah'' (skin, tree bark).</small> | Calemerian skin colours, in Chlouvānem usage, are grouped in eight major definitions, none of them coming even close to an absolute majority (unless the ''lugaṣṭṇīṭah'' and ''hailaṣṇīṭah'' groups are taken as a single one).<br/><small>Small numbers in brackets after the definitions roughly indicate its range in the [[w:Von_Luschan%27s_chromatic_scale|Von Luschan chromatic scale]].

* the '''lugaṣṭṇīṭah''' group (<small>27-23</small>) is the one most people on Calémere frequently associate with Chlouvānem people, as it is the relative majority in nearly all of their heartlands; the mid-high skin colour in this range (<small>24, 25, 26</small>) is probably the most common overall there. It is legally the third-largest, with 24% of all Chlouvānem. | * the '''lugaṣṭṇīṭah''' group (<small>27-23</small>) is the one most people on Calémere frequently associate with Chlouvānem people, as it is the relative majority in nearly all of their heartlands; the mid-high skin colour in this range (<small>24, 25, 26</small>) is probably the most common overall there. It is legally the third-largest, with 24% of all Chlouvānem. | ||
* the '''hailaṣṇīṭah''' group (<small>18-20</small>) is another stereotypically Chlouvānem-only skin colour, relative majority in many areas of the Plain, in the southern rainforests, and in the East. It is legally the second-largest, with 26% of all Chlouvānem, but popular usage hardly distinguishes it from the ''lugaṣṭṇīṭah'' group. | * the '''hailaṣṇīṭah''' group (<small>18-20</small>) is another stereotypically Chlouvānem-only skin colour, relative majority in many areas of the Plain, in the southern rainforests, and in the East.

Hålša, the largest city of the Hålvaren plateau, is the only Chlouvānem city (and the only one on Calémere) with a population greater than 2 million where people with this colour are the relative majority, with 41% of the city's inhabitants. | ||

* the '''julkṇīṭah''' group (<small>7-9 plus 12-14, though more peachlike</small>) is a light skin colour mostly common in the Northeast and parts of the East, as well as scattered elsewhere; it amounts to 4% of all Chlouvānem. | * the '''julkṇīṭah''' group (<small>7-9 plus 12-14, though more peachlike</small>) is a light skin colour mostly common in the Northeast and parts of the East, as well as scattered elsewhere; it amounts to 4% of all Chlouvānem. | ||
* the '''vindṛṇīṭah''' group (<small>11 and lower</small>) is the colour of “whites”: despite being fairly common on Calémere it is hardly native to the lands of the Inquisition, apart from the taiga in the far Northeast and the islands off the Northeastern coast, as well as descendants of Evandorians in the northwestern dioceses (former colonies of Western powers) and later middle-class Evandorian immigrants. As those were historically sparsely populated areas, ancestral people of those areas are few; and as that kind of immigration is not so relevant in percentage terms, it is the rarest group, amounting to only | * the '''vindṛṇīṭah''' group (<small>11 and lower</small>) is the colour of “whites”: despite being fairly common on Calémere it is hardly native to the lands of the Inquisition, apart from the taiga in the far Northeast and the islands off the Northeastern coast, as well as descendants of Evandorians in the northwestern dioceses (former colonies of Western powers) and later middle-class Evandorian immigrants. As those were historically sparsely populated areas, ancestral people of those areas are few; and as that kind of immigration is not so relevant in percentage terms, it is the rarest group, amounting to only 1% of all Chlouvānem. | ||
