I'm light brown.
Pale skin:
In most pale-skinned individuals only a mild tanning can be achieved by exposure to the sun, but the skin easily burns and turns red. The maximum paleness is usually reached during the late winter months
Fair skin:
The protection against solar radiation is relatively weak, and sunburn occurs easily, especially if the skin is untanned and in (sub)tropical regions. Typically developed in temperate climate. Was probably rarer during the Paleolithic and increased in frequency during the Neolithic in European farmers. During the summer months, the skin may reach a brown tone which offers greater protection to solar radiation
Light brown skin:
During the summer months, the skin tans easily, reaching a darker brown which offers a good protection against solar radiation.
Medium brown skin:
Medium brown skin shows a good protection against solar radiation. It can burn in untanned skin. Many early human groups probably possessed this skin tone.
Dark brown skin:
Dark brown skin offers a good protection against strong solar radiation, at the same time studies show a higher vulnerability to severe cold and reduced production of vitamin D in dark winter months of cold regions. Sun burn is possible. Many early Homo sapiens probably possessed this skin tone.
Black skin:
Black skin offers the best protection again strong solar radiation, sunburn hardly occurs. The strong pigmentation often alters the colour of the lips and eye sclera as well.
