Depicting or drawn with flesh-colored tones; showing natural or realistic coloring of human skin in art.
From carnation (a flesh-pink color, from Latin carnatio 'flesh-coloring') plus -ed suffix. Used primarily in art criticism and description.
In Renaissance art criticism, a 'carnationed' painting meant the artist had successfully rendered human flesh with realistic, warm colors—it was actually a compliment meaning you could almost touch the skin.
