Latinos, arabs, and even african americans have skin color variation amongst their family members.

People of African descent definitely vary the most with regard to skin tone, even without non-African admixture. And this is scientifically proven. Indians and Oceanians are probably a close second. The variation among Latinos and Arabs is largely due to admixture between Eurasian, African, and Native American/Asian admixture.

My dad is dark skinned (dark brown)... his father was a fair skinned Tunisian looking man (very atypical Tuareg) and his mother was a very dark skinned pseudo-Horner looking woman.
My mother is light skinned (creamy colored)... her father was a very dark skinned Songhai man with narrow Sahelian features (He actually resembles Hanan's grandfather) and her mother was a light skinned Songhai woman with broad features. Alone, they look perfectly West African; but my moms recombination of their features makes her looks very ambigous: light skin and narrow features.
I have a swarthy olive skin tone
My siblings vary from as dark as my dad (actually one of my brothers is darker) to as light as my mom
