In that picture yeah. But in Spider-Men 2 he was darker.

Also Rio has also seen a lighter tone at times. She's lighter in the game, than when she was in the movie, and depending on who's doing the coloring in the comics it can go either way. The unfortunate reality is characters with darker complexions will almost always have someone that may lighten up their skin, and those with more of a tanned complexion will end up looking whiter at times.

So I'm not really basing it on skin tone, just features of the character.
