It is indeed. Quantitative traits suggest that the traits are polygenic, which means that the trait is influenced by more than one gene and skin color is influenced by 3 genes (6 alleles). Skin color is also a multifactorial trait because there are also many environmental factors that change skin color, such as exposure to sunlight.
Skin color is considered a quantitative trait because it is controlled by multiple genes and influenced by environmental factors, resulting in a wide range of variation. This variation is continuous, rather than being determined by a single gene with distinct categories. Quantitative traits typically show a spectrum of phenotypes rather than discrete categories.
Qualitative observations are descriptive and non-numerical, focusing on qualities like color, texture, or smell. Quantitative observations involve measurements and numerical data, such as weight, length, or temperature.
There is no specific color associated with laziness. The concept of associating a color with a particular trait like laziness is subjective and varies among individuals.
Favorite color is qualitative data because it represents a characteristic or quality, rather than a numerical value. It cannot be measured or quantified in a numerical sense.
environmental traits: favorite music, favorite food, favorite stuff both : athletic ability, muscle size
Psychological factors like stress, anxiety, and mood can influence skin color through the release of hormones like cortisol, which can impact melanin production. Additionally, psychological conditions like depression can affect blood flow to the skin, leading to changes in skin tone. Lastly, lifestyle factors associated with psychological well-being, such as diet and sleep, can also play a role in maintaining healthy skin color.

A character trait that shows what is on the outside of a character, like the hair, eye, or skin color
Skin color is a polygenic trait. A polygenic trait is one that is controlled by multiple genes. Each gene for skin color deposits no pigment, some pigment, or lots of pigment. The additive effect of the deposited pigment from each gene for skin color results in a whole spectrum (continuum) of color. Also, skin color is affected by the environment, which further increases the variation in human skin color.
