Does anyone know why there are called those things and what was the origin of these words? How did scientists come up with them?

Ok, so, I used to use Maybelline for my foundation.
I tried 3 three times to get my color, but they are all too pink in color or too orange (I’m half-Asian, half-America).

They just have this weird tint that never match me.
The darker I go, the oranger it is.
The lighter I go, the lighter and pinker it is.

So, I’m sick of Maybelline.

My question is, should I try Cover Girl, the TruBlend (it’s said to match 97% of people) or any other Cover Girl product, or should I get something from the expensive stores? Like Sephora?

I want to try Cover Girl because I’m pretty poor before going to Sephora … but will it match me?
Did it match you well?

I have light skin with a yellow-ish tint …
Thanks!
Or should I try Neutrogena?

Will the ultra fine point sharpie bleed through the plastic? What other ultra fine point markers do you recommend?
