      That is odd. I think there is some truth to it. In domestic animals, some individuals have blotches of white or other pale color. In some individuals like that, they may get pale feet. Maybe Goofy has a case of this. That would explain the pink hands in a mostly black body. This blotching effect can happen to dogs. Lady and Copper are two Disney dogs that are a lot more realistic. They have pale feet too. Then there is Dodger, who is the opposite. He is mostly white with the blotching effect. However he has grey feet, which are darker.

    It’s also just a stylistic choice. In a theme park called the Efteling, the parks mascot is Pardoes, the magic jester. He was never really animated in a 2D style, although he still has white gloves. I imagine the designer thought it would be weird for him to just have human hands so he gave him white gloves and white leggings to match :D

    "Do you know why they wear gloves?"
    Yes actually, old cartoons were only black and white then and, therefore, most liked using black for clothes/ fur on the body to make animation easier and build a good silhouette. That meant a lot of the body black so to make the hands easier to see and not get lost on the body you'll make them use 'white gloves' that way you don't risk the hands looking like black blobs, like with felix the cat thought there are example of character that do not require the gloves rule like popeye or betty-
