I am not talking mere Caucasian white. I mean snow-white, vampire-white, Goths-in-the-moonlight white, I mean whiter than Ghost Widow white. It always so much irked me that GW was the only truly snow white character we saw. How can one be Undead with the "white" skin color we players had access to?! This was eventually lightened a bit, but still. I want SNOW white!! Puns not intended.

We could get people a true heart-of-midnight black skin color [had two of those to be honest], but snow white eluded us. Can we please, this time out....? Just askin'.
I'd really like for us to have access to more skin colors of all types than we had access to in CoX. As I recall, you could not have ruby red skin either. MORE COLORS!!
I know one reason why pure white and pure black are usually NOT included in games is because it's near impossible to render something in it. That being said, I do agree that there should be an effort to attempt to get as close to the two as graphically possible. I know a certain Aussie who'd love to make her and her wife's GURPS PnP character, and both require those two colors.

What was so annoying about CoH's "white" was not so much it's purity (from a RGB point of view) but for how it always seemed like any costume item it was used on appeared semi-transparent and/or washed out. At least CoH's black wasn't quite as annoying.
I only have a passing knowledge of graphics rendering so I'll accept your claims about the problems with pure white and black, but surely they can come up with a "solid" looking white color even if it had to be a couple of shades darker than pure white like what Wiki defines as [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_white#Ghost_white]Ghost White[/url] or [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shades_of_white#Baby_powder]Baby Powder[/url].

That Cornsilk White looks like what we were getting in CoX, and that wasn't nearly white enough to suit my taste.
I am good with white costume parts not being useable with a true Ghost White color skin, as long as we can get it! My Ghost White people wear black anyways. >:-)
