Yep, and the color has gotten darker over the years. The darker the skin the more the cuts and shadows show up. It gave black contestants a distinct advantage.

For us geeks, think of it as video game graphics. The shading mixed with the highlights from the shine in the oil give a greater sense of 3D. In this case, making the muscles look bigger and more defined.
