I picked up more scottish, english and overall european genes, so when I'm out in the sun I look like paper, and I have freaking light completely blue eyes (except for an odd brown spot that put itself there >:c)
but most of the time my skin appears dark.
I see too tan as orange, such as the commercial where the girl has perfectly fine skin (even tan) and then she looks like an orange.
Too light would be paper.
