Not entirely accurate re: "skin tones" (as opposed to just "foodstuffs"). I've heard/read "olive-toned/complexioned", "peaches and cream", "rosy pink", "pasty white", "doughy colored"....there might be few more, but if so, they're slipping my mind, an I'll be as far away from a keyboard as possible without actually teleporting into outer space when they do finally occur to me.

White people are never dark; they're "tan" or "olive" or "leathery". Being compared to an animal skin is possibly worse than food comparisons (it just squicks me bad)!

"sallow" and "swarthy" are also sometimes applied to whitish skin, and of course "tan" which reminds me of "bronzed"
