Sorry, he's stuck for awhile, until it wears off on its own as the skin cells replace themselves. I have tried adding a little bleach to liquid soap and scrubbing, and while it faded the stains a little, I not only still had noticeable stains, I also had sore and chapped hands. It's not worth it.
Walnut hulls are the source of one of the most permanent natural dyes around. In colonial America, they were the primary source of brown dye for yarns and fabrics, and they are still used by spinners, weavers, and fiber artists today. I don't know that this historical perspective will make you feel any better about it, but at least it gives you some idea of why it will take a week or 2 before his hands look clean again.

Squirt his hands with Windex & have him rub - rinse & repeat. Never tried it for walnut stains, but it works wonders on Easter Egg dye! It's worth a shot.

The stain is usually a petroleum based product. You will need another petroleum based product to get it off. Mineral spirits will work well. If you use this on your hands, make sure you wash them very well with soap and water, or your hands will dry out and crack.

Paint thinner and elbow grease. Scrub well. Make sure you use lots of soap afterwards to get all the chemical off. Whatever remains will have to wear off naturally. The skin is constantly renewing itself, so it shouldn't take long to wear off...as long as he doesn't do this again!

Try rubbing alcohol if that doesn't work, finger nail polish remover. Just be sure to wash hands afterwords with soap.

Put a little sand in some liquid hand soap and gently rub. It works sometimes.

There is nothing that works... sorry! It has to wear off...next time wear rubber gloves. It will take at least 7 to 10 days.

Has anyone suggested Lava soap to you yet? It works well on pitch.
