I think your question is quite general at the moment. You probably need to be more specific. Skin colour can be related to natural pigmentation or health and it can be literal or metaphorical. Almost regardless of natural pigmentation, a person can look grey or pale or red or blue. Is it polite to point out that someone looks pale? There's a whole Wikipedia page on skin colour.

Too broad. This is asking for all possible colors of skin. That's a lot. Even if limited to general 'fair/olive/ dark/etc'.
