Question

Help answer this question below.

Wondered this for a long time. What determines the color & size of the colored part around womans nipples? I think it is hair color, because blond women I know it is pale & dark haired it is dark. True? Also bigger breasts means bigger colored area?

    I am a redhead, My complexion is very light(I use "porcelain ivory" or lightest ivory" foundation), my areolas are light pink and the size.... well it blends into the rest of my breast... there is no clear line of demarcation!

    The size of the areola is genetically dependant.
    Some women who have very small breasts will have very large areolas. Some small chested women will have small areolas and large nipples. Some larger chested, full-figured women will have tiny nipples and tiny areolas..... it can go just about any way because it's genetic. Even mens nipples are different sizes with different sized areolas! It's all in the genetic soup!



    The color has to do with your skin color....
    The amount of melanin in your skin depicts the color... it's an under tone and the hue is concentrated at the areolas and the under tone may be:

    Brown: African Americans, deep complexed Indians, It's already brown and it will darken in the sun. It can sunburn(though I have been told it is not likely). People in this category usually have naturally dark hair, dark brown to deep black. Their nipples will typically be 1-2 shades darker than their other skin.


    Olive: Most mediterranean people have olive-toned skin. This is the skin most Latinas have and a lot of mixed-race people as well. It tans easily, and it's resistant to sunburn. It's medium-dark. These people typically have medium to dark brown hair.Their nipples will be a slighty darker olive shade than the rest of their skin.

    Yellow: light to medium skin tones... most caucasians have yellow under tones. Asians fit into this category also. It can tan, it can burn it's a well-situated skin tone. People in this skin tone can have blonde to very dark brown or black shades of hair. Nipples are almost always some shade of brown light to dark.

    Pink: very light skin tones to reddish tints. sun burns very easily, hard to tan... Hair is typically strawberry blonde to dark auburn. Pink undertones result in pink nipples (different shades of course)

    ~{Redheads almost always have very light skin with pink undertones.. this is because of the three pigments in hair color: Blue, Yellow, and Red.... Blue is most dominant and contains the highest amounts of melanin. Yellow contains the least amount of melanin. Red is in the middle, but for hair to be red, there must be very little or no blue pigment; little or no blue means very little melanin and because the distribution throughout hair and skin are copesetic, the skin will be light. (bleh) so, yes, hair color has some relation to the color of your nipples.}~

    Hope this helps!
