Come on'n get your jamaharon on! There are no real rules—just don't break the weather control network.
While a part of me has every confidence that young Boimler would be depicted as equally pale, tans fade away if not maintained by lifestyle or choice, and Boimler has been in Starfleet for a bit now.
This feels like the most reasonable answer, honestly. I hadn't considered it because I live in the Southwestern US and often get a lot of sun exposure.
