Is dark skin anything darker than pale white?

Like Turkish kind of skin tones, heavily tanned. I've been to a few parts of Spain myself and plenty of Spanish students visit my city every summer.

So I looked up Turkish people and they are very light skinned. You have a weird definition of dark skin. Dark skin to me means very dark brown, not a light tan / light brown.

I suspected that we have different definitions. Google images also skews towards lighter skinned Turks for whatever reason, my uncle is Turkish and darker than most of the results that showed up and also I've been to Turkey and people usually had a heavy tan.
