Depends on the amount of melanin in each individual. I will say a large percentage of African Americans have a dark pigmentation on their nail bed as opposed to someone of another race who has much less pigmentation. Dark nail beds have been known to show up even in very light skinned African Americans. This phenomenon of dark nail beds is not common to non African Americans.

What is a nail bed?

The nail bed is part of the nail matrix called the sterile matrix. It extends from the edge of the germinal matrix, or lunula, to the hyponychium. The nail bed contains the blood vessels, nerves, and melanocytes, or melanin-producing cells. As the nail is produced by the root, it streams down along the nail bed, which adds material to the undersurface of the nail making it thicker. It is important for normal nail growth that the nail bed be smooth. If it is not, the nail may split or develop grooves that can be cosmetically unappealing.
