When a black person and white person have a child, is that child ever darker skinned than the black parent?

I have only seen the babies born lighter than the darker skinned parent.

Why isn’t skin color like eye color? Why do the colors mix, instead of going one way. Maybe a family could have some black babies, and some white babies if it were like eye color. Instead, the skin tones seem to work more than figuratively like cream and coffee.
