"Scatter color is the color of the internal SSS matter seen through the depth, a tint, so you can bias whatever kind of general surface color and such you got going.

You can hit up the documentation and see examples.

Just treat it as a bias on internal scatter color, provided you have depth enough as those are bound together.

I would resolve to Arnold Standard Material and the Randomwalk 2 mode, it is superior in quality and detail, not so much if you use 3rd party engines"
