My hair is more of a copper-color than full-on red. :/ But I'm certainly pretty brown.

Well, thistroper met one who dyed her hair red. Does that count?

...No.

This troper's brother used to semi-qualify. His hair's towards the browner end of the spectrum of redheadedness but it still counts as red, and when he was younger he always had a bit of a perma-tan, not a lot but more then you'd expect of someone with his hair colour. However, not even the perma tan could withstand several years of him hiding in his bedroom so he's been disqualified.

This troper knows one - a half-Iranian girl who has naturally red hair, a permanent deep tan and... freckles.

HNNNNG!

This troper does too.

This troper once had a cousin (by marriage) who appeared black except for his naturally red hair. She never met him, as he died when she was very young, but her mom told her about him.

Uh, my friend has naturally red hair and is black. It looks good on her.

Considering all the characters mentioned are either Arabian in origin or just have a tan....Yeah I've met plenty of "dark skin" redheads since when was Tan considered Dark skinned I thought it was just tan.

I doubt this. Really? I am dark skinned, because I'm mexican, and also because my parents took me to the beach every day since the day after I was born. My hair is copper red. So... Nobody else? Really? Please, don't let me be alone.

Hey buddy, if I could tan, I would.

My mum has dark olive skin and naturally auburn-red hair. She didn't like being a redhead, though, so she dyed her hair brown. Also, my dog is a Shiba Inu- they have orange fur and black skin. I don't know if that counts for anything. Just throwing it out there.

My youngest brother and late great-uncle. We're fair-skinned black.

This troper has a cousin who's Hispanic on her mother's side (giving her darker skin) and part Irish on her father's side (giving her really red hair and freckles).

A friend of mine has a Scottish father and Filipino mother. She's short, curvy, deeply tanned, freckled, and has the most vibrant red hair I've ever seen.

My family is heavily English, Irish, and Scottish (English and Irish on my dad's side, Irish and Scottish on my mom's) with some Belgium, French, Penobscot, and Creek thrown in (Belgium, French, and Creek from my mom's side, Penobscot from my dad's). I myself have bright red hair, green eyes, and the palest skin in the world (I can't tan). My brother has brown hair, blue-grey eyes, and he tans lightly. My little sister, however, has red hair, hazel eyes ... and she TANS. And she's out in the sun a lot, too, so she has a pretty good tan, too, even in winter. So, yes, TV tropes, I have met a dark-skinned redhead.

My genes are a genetic cocktail, so I can become one when I spend too much time in the sun. People would always ask me if I dyed my hair, but they didn't believe it was natural, so I dyed my hair Dark Brown and secluded myself in my room, effectively becoming a ''PaleSkinnedBrunette''

This troper once saw a little girl with deep tan skin and orange hair. Looked very unnatural, I don't know how it happened.

This troper's immediate family excluding herself because of her status as the ''PaleSkinnedBrunette''. No, my father's not the milkman. Heritage: Shawnee/German on father's side, Stockbridge/African/Russian on mother's side.

This troper technically is one. As in I tan to a certain extent during the warm months. I think being portuguese irish has something to do with it.

I have dated two redheads in my time. Both loved to sunbathe, neither would tan they both would just kind of turn from pale white to pink.

This troper works with a guy whose father is of Greek decent and his mother of Irish. This has led to him having flaming red hair and olive skin, and meant that when he lived in Australia, he got dark rather than burnt. This very pale blonde is excessively jealous.

This troper's friend's family has several of these. Apparently, several generations ago, the great-great grandmother was an African-American slave owned by an Irish man. I'm sure you can guess what happened. Ever since then, those genes crop up once every generation. My friend's aunt has red hair and striking green eyes, which led her to become a professional model for a short time back in the eighties.

This Jewish troper knew several Israeli girls in her hebrew school with very dark skin and bright red hair. My hair turns reddish in the sun, but it's predominately dark brown, and I have light olive skin that never burns.
