Skin pigment colour in mixed race newborn baby...?

My brother is white. His girlfriend is black (she's African). They've just had a baby boy (Zach...two days old - very cute) and he's very light in colour (almost pink) but has dark brown eyes .





Is this the colour he will always be - or will his skin start to darken as he gets older...? Nobody we've spoken to really knows...

Skin pigment colour in mixed race newborn baby...?
All dark skinned races, mixed or not, have babies who are born lighter than what they usually end up being later. You can't be 100% sure exactly how dark or light they will be for the first 6 months to a year or so, and sometimes a little longer. They can stay exactly the same color as when they were born, or get very dark, or anywhere in between. If they do get darker, it happens gradually over the first year or so.
Reply:He'll get a little darker. But you'll just have to wait and see. My daughter is half hispanic, 1/4 white, 1/4 black and she had a yellow skin tone till she was 10 mts and now she looks black.
Reply:only time will tell.
Reply:He'll probably get darker as he gets older, but it's impossible to tell. What difference does it make? No baby of any race stays the same color that they were as a newborn.
Reply:His color will change - but who knows which way it will go.





My daughter is mixed and started out darker, then gradually got lighter. Now that she is in her teens though, her skin is darkening.





Still beautiful! :) I believe mixed race people are our future! :)
Reply:He will get darker, it takes a little while. Even some newborn full african babies can look just like their caucasian counterparts right after birth.
Reply:Not to be rude or anything, but what difference does it make?
