It is indeed. Quantitative traits suggest that the traits are polygenic, which means that the trait is influenced by more than one gene and skin color is influenced by 3 genes (6 alleles). Skin color is also a multifactorial trait because there are also many environmental factors that change skin color, such as exposure to sunlight.
