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 pigmentation is merely the natural color of the skin. The reason people have different skin color and shade is because of melanocytes which are the cells that are responsible for the production of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that is responsible for giving the skin, hair and eyes their color.
