Do you have in mind any races that should have those colors but don't use them yet?

Half-orc.

First of next week I will squeeze out some time to do some testing and report back to this thread with race and numbers.

So just to clarify, are we using this thread for skin suggestions, the new megathread ork made, or a different one entirely?

All AI art is trash.

Sun elves should have access to 1, 2, and 117. All are lightly colored tan skin(A light bronze), which is actually darker than some of the official art for them.

They do have access to 2 and 117.

Could you please post a list of current allowed colours per race? Saves having to make a hundred characters on the main server to work out what is allowed and what isn’t.

RP only starts at 30 if you're a coward.

Another one:

I think 16 is good for humans.

It's an unusually rare shade of pale, but it looks great. It's perfect for any undernourished person, underdark dweller or sewer C.H.U.D.

Add 128 to Shadovar skin color. It's a very pale cool skin tone without being as dark as the other options.

Recommendation:

Color 65 (Smoky Taupe) for moon elf skin. It is the moon elfiest thing I've ever seen.

This would be nice, tbh. There were some skin tones that were missing last time I made a character that I was bummed about, but plagued by ennui and a lack of motivation, I didn't want to catalog all of the colors that weren't present that I thought should be present.

Although if I'm being honest I still think that the skin color restrictions are pretty overbearing. Blacklisting colors that are weird for most every race(Like METALLIC GREEN or something) rather than making a curated whitelist for each makes a lot more sense, especially when the FR source material often seems conflicted on what fleshtones a given species has, but hey.
