Below is a short clip from the 1972 paleo-futuristic documentary Future Shock. This segment focuses on the prospect of changing your skin color.
Will the human race emerge in a range of brilliant colors? Given the choice, would we want to look alike or different? What is beautiful?
You can find Future Shock on the DVD Yesterday's Tomorrows Today, released by A/V Geeks.

Nice idea for Michael Jackson!
I want fur. As soon as we can tailor our DNA, I'm going to go for the 'giant fuzzy animal' look.
That reminds me of a very recent article in the Daily Mail in which the same thing is promised.
wow! sue blue man group!
But the green skins still hook up with greens, and the orangites hook up with orangites.
I want fuschia. Or teal. And hubby looks best in dark blue....
But I would settle for a decent depilatory....
