The posterior forearm tends to appear darker due to the presence of more melanin in the skin, which can be influenced by factors such as sun exposure and genetics. The posterior side of the forearm is often less protected from UV rays, leading to increased pigmentation as a natural defense mechanism against sun damage. Additionally, variations in blood flow and skin thickness can also contribute to the perceived color differences.
