Thats even more significant. How is the second miracle going to be more powerful if you cant see the spots from 10 ft away? Moses must have been extremely dark for all those people to see only white spots on his hand. Thanks for pointing that out and providing such a great visual to go along with it.From your own source:Back to the topic..In order to convince the Hebrews he had really spoken with him god gave Moses 2 miracles. Lets break this down. what is a miracle?

So he gave Moses 2 miracles. The lesser one was turning a stick into a snake. The greater miracle was turning his hand white. Note this is not a small gathering in some room or a tent. There are going to be almost 60 thousand Hebrews present so most of them are going to be far away so turning a hand white against a white body wouldn't be seen as the greater miracle. Moses therefore had to be Black in order for everyone to be astounded and see it as a greater miracle..
"Moses obeyed; and when he took his hand out, it was diseased, covered with white spots,"
