It's true that "white" is not a skin color, but also let me point out that people with lighter skin tones than what is commonly called "white people" are hilariously considered "people of color".

Skin "color" is some diffuse concept that doesn't really have much to do with the actual color spectrum and, in many cases, not even physical features. The extremes are easy to tell, but there's a whole world in between with some pretty arbitrary definitions.
