A baby's skin can become lighter over time. According to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford, the skin of a newborn is typically dark red to purple. As the infant begins to breathe air, the color lightens to red. The skin continues to get lighter during the first day of life. Health and environmental factors may also affect the color of a baby's skin.
