Skin color was measured by reflectance spectrophotometry on 134 pairs of twins at 3 sites, forehead, forearm and upper arm, each at 3 wavelengths, 425, 545 and 685 nm. Tanning is measured most reliably at 685 nm; at this wavelength the heritability is high at the least exposed upper arm site, intermediate on the forearm, while on the forehead variation is entirely environmentally determined. The same gradient is observed, although less strikingly at 545 nm; at 425 nm, where Hb is reflecting most of the light, the degree of genetic determination is the same at all sites.
