When a light skinned person and a dark skinned person have a child, that child is likely to have a mix of those skin tones, resulting in a caramel hue. However, when someone with blond hair and someone with black hair have a child, the child would either have blond or black hair rather than a mix of the two producing brown.
And where do eye colour genes fall in here?
In: Biology
That is not true. When two light skin people have kids there is even a possibility that the child will come out dark skin. In your example you say a dark skin person and a light skin person have a kid the kid will be a hue of between those shades. This is not like mixing paint. Their skin color isn’t always a hue between two parents. They can take the skin color of anybody within the family genetics. Could be a great grandmother or an aunt. Same as a child might have a nose that looks like of their aunt or great grandmother.
