Skin color Melanin- Brown The primary determinant of variability in human skin color is the amount, density, and distribution of the pigment melanin. Melanin has a dark brown/purple/black color that is intensified by denser compaction of the melanin granules in the cells of the upper layers of the skin Carotene- Yellow Carotene, the least common skin pigment results in a yellowing of skin, primarily from the over-consumption of carotene containing foods (like carrots), almost exclusively in pathological or abnormal skin coloration. Hemoglobin- Red Hemoglobin is the complex molecule responsible for transport of oxygen throughout our bodies. It is the primary protein constituent of Red Blood Cells. Oxygenated hemoglobin has a reddish hue. Produces a pinkish tint to lightly pigmented skin Deoxygenated hemoglobin has a purplish color. Produces the bluish tint to lightly pigmented skin that is characteristic of oxygen deprivation and suffocation The pigments Carotene, Hemoglobin, and Melanin are involved in skin color
