Pakistanis exhibit a diverse range of skin colors. There is no single skin color for all Pakistanis.
Diverse Skin Tones in Pakistan
The skin color of Pakistanis varies considerably, ranging from fair to dark brown. Studies show a wide spectrum of skin tones within the population. One study found that light brown to medium brown skin was the most common (55%), followed by fair skin (33%) and dark brown (12%).[1] Another study predicted skin colors among a Pakistani sample as intermediate, dark, and black.[2] This variation reflects the diverse genetic heritage and geographic locations within the country.
- Light Brown to Medium Brown: This is the most prevalent skin tone, according to research.
- Fair Skin: A significant portion of the Pakistani population has fair skin.
- Dark Brown: A smaller percentage of individuals have darker brown skin.
The variation is influenced by several factors, including genetics, ancestry, and exposure to sunlight. Regional differences also play a role; individuals from different regions of Pakistan may exhibit different skin tones on average. The perception of skin color can also be subjective and influenced by cultural factors. [3, 4, 5, 6]
It's important to remember that skin color is a spectrum, and attempting to assign one specific color to such a diverse population is inaccurate and misleading. [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
