That's the point. Most Iberians are not tanned, but just have a standard European fair skin tone.
Some people on here (NOT you, of course) like Gica and others, who like to troll Spaniards, like to portray Spain as some sort of semi-tropical country, "abysmally warmer and sunnier" than Italy and any other European country (including other southern European countries ) as for using some explanation for a supposedly tanned look in Spaniards, when is not the case.
And Northern Italians are not paler skinned than Spaniards on average. They just have some higher frequencies of light hair and eyes, and some more super pale individuals (is my impression, based on my experience with some few super pale North Italian descent Venezuelans that I met back in my country). It might be explained by some higher Baltic input on Northern Italians than in Iberians, perhaps, but that's it.
