Gnomes, skin color of

[candidus_cogitens]

The PHB says the skin color of gnomes ranges from dark tan to woody brown. Is anyone surprised by that? I was. To me, that sounds like the caramel skin tone of lighter-skinned african americans. Is that accurate? Is this standard for most campaign settings?

Gnomes are Blue

ps if not brown what colour did you expect?

I have always strived to keep them in line with the description (darker skin and lighter hair):

 

[Gez]

Beige/light brown. Hair usually blonde, russet, or red; seldom black or chestnut-brown. Eyes usually blue or green, sometimes golden.

BTW, the skin color of gnomes comes from 3H&3L.
