Pinterest has decided to increase the availability of its skin tone matching option to more regions as it helps to enhance the usage of its product recommendation Tool.
Skin tone ranges (our inclusive beauty results search feature) is now available beyond the U.S.- in the UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand – and the design has been refreshed to surface options right from search results.
The quality of the technology has also improved, and the number of beauty and fashion Pins where a skin tone can be identified has quadrupled. Our skin tone signal is now 3x as likely to detect multiple skin tone ranges in top search results, compared to previous technology.
Skin Tone Matching Option
Pinterest has first introduced its skin tone feature last year in January in the US. The company introduces this option after having a report that near about 60% of the top 100 search items for skin include skin tone.
To take advantage of that Pinterest has now expanded this feature to more regions. This feature boosts the Pinterest effort to maximize inclusion and to make sure that every user has options according to their needs.
