Yep. And that likely makes the conversation easy. But, "because it is in lore" is a lousy reason to just assume stuff.
I AM the lore!!

It depends on the Elf culture. For Sun Elf and Moon Elf, the color of the skin (and eyes and hair) can be any color seen in the sky. That almost means any color, even the emerald green of a rainbow, possibly luminous. Generally, these celestial elves range from cloud white to midnight black, including shades of gold and red, and dusky sunsets.

Wood elves are more about the colors of plants and earth tones, and the earth tones are shades of orange, much like human complexions.

Dwarves are any color of any stone, often earth tones.

I like my dwarves the way I like my coffee.

Rich.

Why, what did you think I was going to say?
Bitter, more palatable for most folks if you give them a bit of sugar, and generally a bit of an acquired taste?
Those are results seen in a world driven by evolutionary processes. The generic D&D world is filled with created species, not evolved ones.
Not to mention they aren’t really subterranean.

I let the player tell me what their character looks like, not the other way around.

My last elf was eladrin. He had skin that looked like birch bark, and hair that changed color with the season.
