What was the skin color of Adam?

Answer 1

Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden, which is believed to be located between the Tigris and the Euphrates. However, no one is completely sure since The Bible does not state that. Since they lived in the Middle East they may have had skin typed similar to those of Middle Eastern descent.

Another thought:

Since they were made in the likeness of God, it would be similar to the skin color God has. But since no one has seen God and lived to tell what skin color God had no one knows just by this answer.

Another thought:

Adam and Eve were what is considered black human beings, and other skin colors came later on as times went on.

Additional thoughts:

Though the Bible does not specify Adam and Eve's skin color, it DOES indicate that ALL nations of the earth would come from these two people (Genesis 3:20)(Acts 17:26)(Genesis 1:28) so descendants of ALL colors were within Adam and Eve. When God "parted the sons of Adam from one another" at Babel, and "scattered them...all the surface of the earth" (Deuteronomy 32:8 /Genesis 11:9) they filled the earth with the beautiful varieties of color and form we have today.

Answer 2

There is no description of this in the Scriptures, but she was possibly olive skinned, as many Middle Eastern people. Undoubtedly, the genetic structure for all skin tones resided in the first couple. Skin colors became more diverse after the Great Flood of Noah's day and in his descendants. Yet the Scriptures tell us that we are all of one blood: "And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;" Acts 17:26.

Answer 3

No one really knows for sure. The best guess that scholars have is that he is of Middle Eastern descent because of where they believe the Garden of Eden to have been.
