Skin pigmentation: The nipple's color can change and very much depend on your hormone. It changes with your menstrual cycle and get darker if you are pregnant. It looks like you just noticed it and did not know its previous color, plus you are young and should be healthy, it could be just your normal self. Check with your OB/GYN or your family doctor if it still concerns you.
