In the books, ALL vampires turn stark white. Bella does mention that a few have a slight undertone, hinting that their skin had been quite dark while human. But, all vampires were very white, including those who had been black in their human lives. Even freckles, birthmarks, and moles disappear as all melanin is drained from the skin. Meyer does contradict herself quite often. Like Bella mentioning the slight undertone of a particular vampire. Then in Midnight Sun, Edward mentions his stark white skin... the exact same white skin that ALL vampires possess. So, in the books, all vampires have extremely white skin. Apparently, some have a slight undertone. In the movies... a dark human still retain their dark skins as vampires. So that's just a movie/book difference.
