* the '''julkniė''' 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 6% of all Chlouvānem.

* the '''vindraniė''' 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; being those historically sparsely populated areas, ancestral people of those areas are few and as such it is the rarest group, amounting to only 1,5% of all Chlouvānem.

====Health====
The Inquisition has the fourth-highest median life expectancy on Calémere (after Brono, Karynaktja, and Holenagika), with 71.2 years for males and 74.9 for females<ref>Calemerian humans live on average less years than humans of Earth, note though than one Calemerian year lasts about 609,6 days on Earth.</ref>; life expectancy has grown noticeably in the last century after the newest progresses in science were able to finally defeat or find easy cures to many common tropical diseases that historically plagued large parts of the territory.
The main health issue among Chlouvānem people is considered to be the suicide rate. Suicide (''demikaudaranah'') is the leading cause of death for people under 50 and has grown to become a serious problem. The rate is very high due to the social pressure inherent in Chlouvānem culture, which has often led people, especially young workers and students, to be easily ashamed for even minor mistakes or failures and Chlouvānem society not being particularly tolerant of this. Due to the Yunyalīlti worldview valuing the community more than the individual, suicide has historically been considered the most honourable way to die, and part of a process of natural selection, as the dead’s place in the community will be taken by someone better suited.<br/>Nowadays even some of the most traditionalist people have recognized the entity of this problem as suicide rates, particularly among people aged 20 to 30, have continued to rise yearly for the last 15 years, and many failed attempts have led to people frequently becoming paralyzed or with other serious injuries and thus incapable to lead a normal life. Many suicide hotlines have been set up by local governments in order to give assistance and some dioceses have begun to provide psychological visits for free to “vulnerable subjects”, and there have been cases of employers being convicted and serving 2+6+2 months prison sentences<ref>A mild sentence in Inquisition justice, consisting of two months of forced work, six months of prison detention (including socially helpful jobs), and two months of house arrest.</ref> for instigation to suicide (''demikaudarīlgis'') - there have been however pressures towards Inquisitors in order to give harsher sentences for such crimes, including a full 7+7 sentence<ref>Seven months of forced work plus seven months of prison detention. Note that 14 months is the length of the Calemerian year.</ref>; anti-suicide politics have also resulted in more surveillance near bridges at night and especially many lifeguards being employed all night long along beaches after many people committed suicide by drowning themselves into the sea or lakes; anyway, the results are still hard to see as, despite governmental efforts, suicide is still seen as an honorable act in society.
