redbone

a lightskin person with red undertones. Usually multiracial people have this skin tone. A result from an interracial couple or slavery in their bloodline. I love this skin tone the most it's look warm and pretty.

Mariah Carey, Doja Cat and Beyoncé have yellow undertones not red. Megan The Stallion is more brown skin not a redbone.

Example: Rihanna or Jhené Aiko
Example 2: Nicki Minaj or Yung Miami from the City Girls

Redbone

1. A person of mixed European, African and sometimes Native American ancestry who appears white and is culturally and legally considered white.

2. The child of a White person and an Octoroon (a person who is 1/8 Black) as well as their descendants.

Many Redbones are descendants of the Melungeons – an extinct mixed race ethnic group of European, African, and Native American ancestry – who were assimilated into White American society.
