I know white authors have a habit of describing dark skin tones with food or beverages and I don’t want to do that.
Cocoa, caramel, coffee, etc. I’m not much of a fiction writer but I am running a dnd campaign with POC and don’t want to be a stereotype lol
Edit: various soil types is a promising contender added by my partner
I feel like I saw something like this in a CRPG character creator, but I can’t remember which game it was. Alabaster was one of the super pale
colors.
i wanna say one of the recent(ish) divinity games did this?
I think you’re right - Original Sin 1 probably?
yup! it may have been both OS1 and 2 thinking on it.
Onyx and Alabaster skin tone do occasionally popup in literary arts.
