Actually, there is only one color of skin! All variations in skin "tone" are due to the amount of a chemical called melanin. This chemical forms in the surface of the skin and is thought to be a way for the body to protect itself from too much sun. I have seen people that have obvious traits of a race that are usually dark ,who are totally white skinned, due to albino-ism which is a lack of pigment. Conversely, there are Caucasian people that stay in the sun a lot, who become very dark skinned. If a persons ancestors have lived in the tropics for many generations, they show a natural increase in melanin, that makes their skin darker. But still, the same skin. If those same people move to a region of thick cloud cover for several generations, their skin color will begin to lighten over time.
