Detailed explanation-1: -Melanin is a substance in your body that produces hair, eye and skin pigmentation. The more melanin you produce, the darker your eyes, hair and skin will be. The amount of melanin in your body depends on a few different factors, including genetics and how much sun exposure your ancestral population had.
Detailed explanation-2: -Types of Melanin Eumelanin makes mostly dark colors in hair, eyes, and skin. Pheomelanin colors the pinkish parts of your body like the lips and nipples.
Detailed explanation-3: -The range of colors produced by melanins is limited to shades of yellow, brown, red, and black. Grey hairs contain only a few melanin granules, spread out through the hair. White hairs contain no melanin at all: their whiteness is an optical effect, due to the way they reflect the light.
