The palms of everyone's hands and the soles of everyone's feet are lighter than their average skin color for one simple reason, lack of exposure to the sun. Additionally, the skin is thicker in these two places, so makes tanning difficult.

∙ 7y agoThe palms and soles are the same general color (pink to tan) on ALL humans, because there is substantially less melanin (dark pigment) in the tissue. The pigment content of the skin is the primary difference between skin colors among various races, and is what causes light-skinned races to tan.
