Skin color is due primarily to the presence of a pigment called melanin , which is controlled by at least 6 genes. Both light and dark complexioned people have melanin. However, two forms are produced--pheomelanin , which is red to yellow in color, and eumelanin , which is dark brown to black. People with light complexioned skin mostly produce pheomelanin, while those with dark colored skin mostly produce eumelanin.
Skin color, or pigmentation, is dependent on genetic factors. It varies among ethnic groups and even among individuals of the same group. Essentially human skin color is different shades of brown coupled with the hue imparted by blood flowing in the superficial vessels within the skin.
