What brown pigment determines 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.
