Paler skin for Nervous?

I'm playing around with the idea of changing Nervous Subject's skintone to reflect the fact that he's supposed to be paler than other sims. Shown below are (from left to right) Maxis S1, Phobia's Pale 02, and Pale 01 (which are based on Kiki's PhasMaxian skintones). I'm thinking Pale 01 is too pale, but I'm sort of considering Pale 02. I do like the idea of Nervous being visually distinct and I may have an idea for the story that would work better if he could be identified by skintone alone.

Any thoughts?

I like the middle one! I avoid using extremely pale skintones because they clip out into a big white blob in bright lighting. I have Mortimer in a paler than S1 skintone and he pretty much glows in the dark, but that effect might be good for a supernatural character. It would be a good way for the character to stand out (and make it easier if you're shooting dark scenes.)
