Nipple Color

[Snooky]

I know this thread is out of the box but it's something which really triggers curiosity. What is the secret behind all the different colors of the female nipples ? A thought ran through the back of my head that it's just another ethnic difference like skin color, but I just can't settle on that. Heh ... If anyone is well-educated enough here, maybe s/he could inspire us all to what these colors indicate. Something else which is equally interesting is the nipple size. I have a feeling the size explanation is simpler than the color. An answer to both queries is highly appreciated.

:XD: :boo:

This thread should be very educating :)
I don't know how you guys come with such ideas ...

here is something i found from wikipedia, to keep it clean instead of making it erotic

pigmented skin is known as the areola.

The reason the color of the areola differs from that of the rest of the breast is that the areola roughly delineates where the ducts of the mammary glands are. Careful inspection of a mature human female nipple will reveal several small openings arranged radially around the tip of the nipple (lactiferous ducts) from where milk is released during lactation. Other small openings in the areola are sebaceous glands known as Montgomery's glands (or glands of Montgomery) which provide lubrication to protect the area around the nipple and assist with suckling during lactation. These can be quite obvious and raised above the surface of the areola, giving the appearance of "goose-flesh".

Two polymers contribute to the color of the areola in humans - brown eumelanin and pheomelanin, a red pigment. The relative amount of these pigments determines the color of the areola, which can vary greatly, ranging from pale pink to dark brown, but generally tending to be paler among people with lighter skin tones and darker among people with darker skin tones. An individual's areolae may also change color over time in response to hormonal changes caused by menstruation, certain medications, and ageing. Most notably, the areolae may darken substantially during pregnancy. Some regression to the original color may occur after the baby is born but, again, this varies from individual to individual.

The size and shape of areolae is also highly variable, with those of sexually mature women usually being larger than those of men and prepubescent girls. Human areolae are mostly circular in shape but many women and some men have areolae that are noticably elliptical.

The areolae of most men is around 25 mm (1 in) in diameter while those of sexually-mature women may range up to 100 mm (4 in) or more in diameter, with average sizes around 30 mm (1 3/8 in).[1] The areola of women who are lactating or who have particularly large breasts may be even larger.


The average projection and size of human female nipples is slightly more than 3/8 inches (0.4 in./10mm.). Pregnancy and nursing tend to increase nipple size somewhat, and this increase may remain permanently thereafter. Pregnancy also increases the pigmentation of the nipples. The erection of the nipple is partially due to the cylindrically arranged muscle cells found within it. In many women there are small bulges on the areola, which are called 'Montgomery bodies'.

sameerb1, thanks for sharing the information

The amount of the pigment is genetically determined

The colour is also influenced by pregnancy & breast feeding

It's all in the genes...and the skin tone.

[Riv]

Its life-science, its knowledge so don't feel bad or shy, everyone should know about these things (I guess?)
