Traditionally, Europeans characterize human skin colors as:
In actuality, human skin has a wide spectrum of colors, ranging from pink to deep black, depending on how much melanin is in the skin
The color of my eyes is a medium brown (very pretty color)
Black brown white
Melanin pigment and Carotene pigment
Melanin produces skin color.
There are cells within the bottom layer of the epidermis (the stratum basale or stratum germinativum) called melanocytes. Melanocytes secrete a pigment called melanin which is responsible for giving our skin its color. Their main function though is to shield the nuclei of the keratinocytes (the main cells of the epidermis) to protect them from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. That's why we appear to tan in the sun.
Everyone has melanin, some more than others, melanin is a dark-colored pigment that happen's to give the skin a darkish color. Being outside in the sunshine causes an increase in melanin, darking the skin temporarily.(:
Melanin is a pigment that gives skin its color and is released when sun touches the skin :)

Melanin produces skin color.
The pigment which determines skin color is melanin.
Melanocytes are cells that produce the dark pigment, Melanin, which is responsible for the color of skin.
the pigment in your skin
What brown pigment determines skin color
melanin is mainly responsible for the color of skin number of melanin decide the color more the number more darker skin it protect from the sun rays and other foreign substance in white skin less melanin is there
The medical root word for black is "melan-" as in "melanin," which is the pigment responsible for 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.
Heritity dictates your skin color melanin is what makes the pigment(color)
melanin
The skin contains different cells and tissues. For instance, it contains specialized cells called the melanocytes that produce melanin. Melanin is responsible for giving the skin its color.
Hormones have nothing to do with human skin color. Melanin, a pigment, determines skin color by the amount of it present in the skin. The more melanin, the darker the skin.
