Dusky
An appreciative western term for a woman of south asian descent but with a distinctive skin tone.
While used interchangably with nubian, ebony or mulatta, the sheer beauty and peculiarity of the tone begs that a new definition be awarded and emphasized (as follows);
Similar in concept to a mulatta but with a more darkly orange lustre, strictly dark eyes and hair, minimized tendancy of curls, with higher incidence of wavy or straight instead.
E.g. Asha Saini, Pratyusha Pilla, Sharon Muthu, Nicole Faria, Melinda Shankar, Bipasha Basu, Nandita Das, Freida Pinto.
