I found that people with brown skin will glow red if you use magenta or a 
basic red, but that people with white skin will look like they've got 
liver disease if you use amber colours.

I found that one solution for a general wash was to use a combination of 
blue and green and red together, and that, when spotting, colour should 
be used minimally unless for special effect; otherwise the effect is not 
very natural looking.

And besides, their slap should help to counteract the effect of being 
highly visible. :o)
