Correct, and the Minoans also borrowed the concept from the Egyptians in terms of gendered artworks, but this was more of an artistic trend than a rigid rule in Classical and Hellenistic Greek art, plus later Roman art. For instance, the differences are meagerly pronounced here:

What? Have you never heard about Kaminoans and their strict diet? And how easy it is for them to gain pounds? I read it over at the wookieepedia I swear.

I'm a socialist/progressive, so coincidentally I don't take offense to the "shitlib" moniker, but lets try to keep politics out of this, please.

Yes, the artistic trope & dichotomy of having tanned men and pale women goes back to Minoans, Mycenaeans, and even Egyptian artwork.

I hope we see Kamino immediately after the Clone Wars in the Bad Batch, I think the Empire will seize the planet and silence the Kaminoans who knew about the Sith’s grand plan.

...in fact, it was this Egyptian art trope that was repeated by the Minoans of Crete, the Mycenaean Greeks of the mainland during the Bronze Age, and way later by Classical/Hellenistic Greeks and even Romans with men being suntanned outdoors and women being pale and domesticated.

Cobbled this together for a discord art server event. This week's theme was Jedi/Sith, so I decided to design a Kaminoan Jedi, which was a bit of a challenge as Kaminoans are known to be scientists rather than warriors.

Astro-Minoan Pirates & The Broken, Burning Sky, 3rd Age of Man, circa 115 BCE

Planet-side pirates watch the carcass of a looted mining ship burn in atmosphere. These Astro-Minoans tended to target prospectors and mining teams thinking the broken moon of Arigus was easy pickings.

When Plato relayed the story of Atlantis he was probably inspired by stories of the volcanic eruption on the island of Thera (now Santorini) around 3500 years ago. The Minoans were an advanced culture devastated by the eruption and the tsunami it caused.
