Maybe she was lighter than most people from that part of the country and maybe its because her mother caught the eye of the animal that held her captive in the south. So her grandmother was born out of rape and disgust. And her mother maintained the skin tone, that carried wisdom down to the bone. Dirt and her skin is what modern culture uses as comparatives when in reality its gold on her skin and the richest of oil in her thick dark locks. She may have been darker or lighter than the people from that part of the country but like the Romans and the English she was royalty.
