Why is skin colour so limited?

Well, it wouldn’t really make sense if there were cherry-red Asura running around, since that’s not biologically possible for them. After all, you don’t see bright blue Humans, because Humans don’t have skin pigmentation that would make them blue, and I don’t see how it would make sense for Asura to have blue pigmentation either.
There’s a blue skin color. It’s a light, pastel blue.
Their skin options range from white – black, cream – brown, and then there are also some shades of green, two shades of pink, and two shades of blue (if I remember correctly). So yes, blue is in there. Unless you wanted to be like, vivid cobalt or something. :P Just pick your blue tinted skin and dye your armor cobalt. That would look pretty nice.
EDIT: Demonstrating blue asura.

I just did not know if there was any lore relating them to humans, thus explaining why they are limited in skin pigmentation in the way you are describing. If not, they are not human, so what is stopping them from being any other colour?
Ah, I know there are “colour” options, in that the greyness has a very slight, barely noticeable tint.
My Asura is straight black, because I find the gray-ish colours boring. :P

I don’t think Asura should be nearly as bright and colorful as Sylvari are (plants are pretty much the most colorful things in nature aside from maybe fish), but some color options with just a bit more pigment to them would be nice, I agree. Maybe some very dark navy-blue / magenta colors (to go along with the dark greens), a few light green options to match the light blue / light pink options, and a light blue / light pink option that are just a bit darker than they are currently so they aren’t quite so “white with a faint tint”.
Asura was a subterranean race and with the lack of sun light UV rays there skin complexion would be pale…… but on that point here my problem if there subterranean species wold there eyes glow in places with out much light, like a cat or a dog, or glow red with infrared sight?
