They draw all the good guys 'white', all the bad guys have darker colouring. Except for the pharisees, they are drawn white too.
Maybe I am exaggerating, but I bet if we poured over all the artists rendering's, that would be pretty close to the truth.

As for Adam's skin color:
*** w76 4/15 p. 255 Questions from Readers ***
Questions from Readers
• Did Adam have reddish skin, as his name has been said to suggest?
No one on earth today can say with certainty what Adam’s skin color was.
If the WTBS can't even determine (with all their divine insight) what Adam's skin color was, what can they say about Noah's?
Other quotes about Ham are equally equivocal.
No way the WTBS is going to get itself into another Mormon or KKK or Nazi situation about the source of races of mankind.
However, the WTBS was willing to officially segregate dark-colored brothers and sisters for many years...ostensibly for the protection of such ill-fortuned people.

Genetics research seems to indicate that it takes abround 12,000 to 15,000 years for skin color to change. Bible creationists have discredited the science used to come up with those numbers as this doesn't jive with Noah's family being the origin of all of today's races starting about 5000 years ago after the flood. There were blacks and whites even as far back as the Roman and Greek times, so the races must have beeen fully developed even before that time which, was only about 2500 years or so after the time of the supposed flood of Noah.

In the same way that we get dog breeds in a few generations, the genetic potential is there to get all kinds of things happening. Nothing more complicated than junior high and high school Mendel.
We got Jack Russell Terriers quicker than 12,000 years.
