In other words, if you were blind, blindfolded, or just looking the other way, could you tell if a person were light skinned or dark skinned by touch alone? Of course, no fair touching any part of the body that shows racial differences such as the nose.Does skin color affect skin texture?
Typically in an adult, the more melanin that is in the skin, the thicker it will be, so there is a slight possibility that you could determine a difference if you had extremely sensitive finger-tips.
But...you'd be more likely to be able to tell the difference if you were aware of other tell-tale cues that happen primarily in certain skin colors: actinic keratoses and deeper wrinkles in pale skinned people, velvety growths of the axilla and neck in dark-skinned people with diabetes, etc. There's no guarantee you would be right, though, because a lot of these skin conditions can cross color borders.
