I have a very pale skin colour that is very annoying to me. Can anyone suggest any methods to darken my skin colour, other than getting a sun tan because I don't tend to go brown when I'm out in the sun?

There are lotions and oils that "stain" the skin to make it look tan. Check them out at salons and even WalMart and the likes.

Would this be similar to fake tan? If so, I would be against the idea I'm afraid.

Are there certain types of vitamins that would give you a slightly darker complexion?

Rick is referring about self tanners. If you don't want to use a self tanner, try using make up, such as a bronzer or foundation that's slightly darker than your skin tone.
