Skin colour data from the population of Nowshahr City, northern Iran, reveal significant differences between the males and females on the upper inner arm and the forehead, and within each sex between the sites. Pigmentary variation in association with pubertal age is not found to be statistically significant. Close affinities in pigmentation with some neighbouring populations are also assessed.
