Azizi asks: "Do White people make those kinds of references in descriping another White person?"

It is common when describing someone to another person to say, for instance, S/He has the typical coloring of other redheads.

Or we might say, His blue eyes are vivid next to his white, white skin and black hair.

Is that the kind of thing you mean?

To me personally, just about the prettiest skin around is the warm toffee-colored skin some people have. Somehow the skin seems thicker and more pliant and it looks good with just about anything they could possibly wear.

The comedienne Wanda Sykes has that kind of skin.
