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?

2 looks good, and I agree about 1. I love Pascal/Nervous so much that I recreate them in my custom neighborhood, with Nervous as a dormie and Pascal created later as a YA so they can get together in college. I use these skins, (http://disemporium.dreamwidth.org/7866.html) with the geneticized Flawless Lily for Nervous. It looks different in different kinds of lighting, and definitely paler in my game than in those pics. He's still a dormie, so I don't have a lot of pics of him, but here he is puzzling over his assignment at the gym, with a touch of vending machine glow:

And my alien host/mad scientist also has this skin:
