Pacific Islanders appearance by way of their skin color varies actually....from very fair skinned to olive and dark brown. Apparently our looks are decided by only one genetic gene :-)
It also depends on what category of pacific islanders your referring to. There are melanesians, micronesians and polynesians, Papuans (as far as im aware). Melanesians are the darkest skinned of these three groups whilst micronesians and polynesians are usually ranging from light to medium-dark brown. Melanesians within Solomon Islands are black-skinned unless they are of malaitan descent, melanesian malaitans are brown. Also depends on what you class as black ;). Don't know much about Papua New Guineans as that's not my culture but i do know that they're are many fair-skinned papuans - some look as though they are white with just a slight tan! and then there are those in boganville who tend to be very black
