The color choices are strange. For basic coloring, there should be each of the 3 primary and 3 secondary colors, brown, white, and black. Then there should be light/pastel versions of each of these (pink, peach, pale yellow, light green, light blue, light purple, beige, grey.) Then there should be red-orange, yellow-orange, blue-green, red-violet. Then there should be maybe a darker pink color and a couple of other skin tones in addition to the brown/beige peach.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
