That is so odd! I find that the older twins look exactly alike, just one is dark skinned, the other light. At least one won't feel like a odd ball because it is the only one of a certian color.

Why don't I find this odd??? The parents are of different colors...so skin tone could go either way.

Because darker skin and eyes usually overpower the lighter skin and eye color.

We have bi-racial (black and white) twins and they look half way inbetween, color-wise. Oddly, their birth certificates label them "African American", which I don't agree with as acurate.

Unless the dad is also mixed race and has recessive genes including lighter skin and eye color...it can go either way...and obviously has.
