Blushing is a physiological response characterized by a reddish discoloration of the skin on the face, neck, or chest, typically caused by embarrassment, shyness, or anger. People of all skin tones, including those with darker complexions, can experience blushing.
While the visibility of blushing may vary depending on skin tone, studies have shown that individuals with darker skin tones do indeed exhibit physiological changes associated with blushing, such as increased blood flow and skin temperature. However, the reddish discoloration may be less noticeable on darker skin tones, leading to the misconception that people with darker skin tones cannot blush.
