If a person with light skin got a skin graft from a person with dark skin, would the skin color eventually change?

What you’re referring to is an allograft. The skin would stay the same color as the donor. Freckles don’t move around; melanocytes in grafted skin behave similarly. 

There are a few different types of skin grafts you can get. It depends on several factors, including surface area to be covered, thickness and texture, and hair growth. Autografts are when thin strips of epidermis are harvested from an unaffected part of the patient’s body, usually the back or thigh, and reattached over the graft area.  Xenografts are when another animal’s skin is used, typically porcine, and allografts are irradiated cadaver skin. You don’t have to deal with immune suppression in that case because many of the things the immune system would target are destroyed in the prep process.
