How skin colour changes in response to acute sickness was investigated. Illness is manifest in skin colour differently depending on body region. The face lost redness and became lighter with acute sickness. The arm lost redness and yellowness but became darker with acute sickness. Skin colour changes likely provide a cue to health status of others.
