* In ''Website/TaerelSetting'', kin'toni can have all kinds of odd skin tones, examples inculde the Clael Kin'toni Clan who have green skin, Peullton Kin'toni Clan who have dark blue skin, the Ranther kin'toni has brown-green skin, the Invernus kin'toni with a light silver skin tone. Really, most of "I Am The Skull"'s (a prolific writer on the site) clans have odd skin colours.

* ''Webcomic/ThinkingTooMuchToThinkPositively'': A ''very'' downplayed example applying only to one character - Xan herself. She deliberately draws herself with literal white skin - while all other white humans have realistic flesh tones - to represent how [[https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/portrait-of-the-artist-as-a-young-man/ she sees herself as a work in progress]]. To add to this, in [[https://comicsbyxan.com/comic/dial-d-for-dysphoria-parts-1-2/ the first part of "Dial D for Dysphoria"]], the colour literally disappears from Xan when she experiences gender dysphoria for the first time.

* ''Franchise/YuGiOh'': Several humanoid monsters have skin of various colors, the most notable example being Black Magician, who has blue-ish green skin in the manga, which is why most cards from the OCG/TCG have him with that color. Studio Gallop's ''Anime/YuGiOh'' series chose to depict Black Magician with the AdaptationalDyeJob from the Bandai card game (normal skin color, purple robe, purple hair and green rod), but kept the skin colors of two of Black Magician's evolutions from the manga (Black Magician of Chaos's blue skin and Black Paladin's green skin), while the evolutions that didn't originate from the manga have normal skin colors. Chaos Soldier is also given the same treatment, having green skin in the manga and in the OCG/TCG, but has a normal skin color in the anime. This is the opposite case for the initial Harpie Lady and her sisters, where they are given blue skin in the anime and in the early OCG/TCG, but later on, all new Harpie cards are given normal skin colors.
