I was trying some different clothes on the American girls, and realised that the body colour, pretty closely matched all the vinyl (arms legs head), except for
Mercedes. Mercedes is My American Girl Number 46, she has the Sonali face mold, dark brown skin, eyes and ringletted hair (gorgeous cheeky smile)
this is with flash
this is without
her body fabric is definitely alot lighter than her limbs and head, I suppose it looks like she's wearing an undershirt, but it isn't and its a little disappointing.
I wonder if Historical Girl Addy is two toned?
This is Journey Girls Zara (boxed name was Taryn, since renamed Chavonne)
She too has dark brown skin

(these are Journey girl stretch pants on Merce - a bit snug)
Zara has a vinyl chest plate, but her middle is soft, and fabric and also a different colour to her vinyl.
It seems neither company made an effort to colour match.
Journey Girls Chavonne's vinyl colour has since lightened, I wonder how close the match is now.
Despite this, Mercedes is still very cute. Here she is in an Our Generation outfit called "For the Frill of it"
Our Generation stuff appeared in Kmart in June this year, and I think in David Jones (expensive department store) some months earlier (can we just say - thanks Kmart - they don't over charge). Hopefully they'll get some more and different things in the near soon... in the meantime if my itinerary goes to plan I may see whats in stores in Oahu next month.

I overlooked this friend for this post,
I'd say a closer match but still two toned
