Yes skin is an expression of phenotype. Though skin colour can change with a tan or by staying out of sunlight. Fundamentally skin colour is determined by genes in your DNA. Phenotype is when u can see the impact a gene has had on the body. Ie skin hair and eye colour.

What is ecades?
genetically similar organisms differing in their phenotype (such as skin color tone, health etc..) are known as ecades.
Which genetic factors determine the color of a hummingbird?
Phenotype is the genetic factor that determines the color of a hummingbird. An organism's physical characteristics areincluded in phenotype.
What is the difference between genotype and genotype?
Phenotype is the physical Characteristic that you can see. The genotype is the genetic information (the genes) that code for the proteins that cause the phenotype. Relatively simple examples include eye, skin and hair color.
How do you use genotype and phenotype in a sentence?
In genetics,the phenotype is when genes combine to determine dominant traits
How can environment affect phenotype?
Things like amount of sunlight, eating habits and exercise from your environment can affect your phenotype.
Skin color of humans is controlled by?
Phenotype
What is another name for an observable feature or characteristic of an organism?
Inherited features of an organism include eye color, hair color and skin color. While everyone has their own features, the make up of our features are determined by genetics.
Why do human traits such as height and skin color show a large number of phenotype?
it is because they have genes
Why do some human trait such as height and skin color show a large number of phenotype?
it is because they have genes

Is pink a genotype or a phenotype?
The color pink is a physical characterisitic, so it is a phenotype.
What is the structural basis of skin color?
Skin color is determined by phenotype. Phenotypes are like genetics (inherited by the parents) but can change during a person's life, and some times, but very uncommon, a baby is born with a different phenotype then either parent. Melanin is the pigment that causes differing skin colors. Differing amounts cause the range in colors from white (with little melanin or most of the melanin concentrated into moles and freckles) to black with high levels of melanin spread through the skin. There are other factors, but scientists seem to disagree on what all affects skin color.
Why do human traits such as height and skin color have different phenotype?
This is because phenotypes are the physical appearance. If you had brown hair and so did I, our phenotypes, would still be different.
How do you use genotype and phenotype in a sentence?

What is a phenotype-?
A phenotype is the physical trait or feature of an organism that is the effect of a particular genotype. Flower color of snapdragons is one example of a phenotype, and the color is determined by which alleles comprise the genotype. Plants that are homozygous for the flower color alleles are either white or red. Heterozygous snapdragons are pink.
