Skin is metallic or slate gray
Hemochromatosis occurs with skin pigmentation: 90% to 100% of patients have skin pigmentation. The characteristic metallic color or slate gray is sometimes described as bronze or dark brown due to increased melanin (causing a bronze color) and iron deposition (causing a gray pigment) to settle in the dermis.
