The colour of the vocaloids illustration will never be added to a wikia page as it opens up other things we're not suited to handle.

ITs one of those "leave it alone" moments.

Its the same for hair colour, eye colour, etc. The reason we don't mention these details is anyone who looks at the boxart can draw their own conclusions, plus, honestly, this is where the words "dumbing things down" or "captain obivous" come into play. You can ignore the boxart, you can change the boxart, when it comes to PV and fanart, songs, etc, the Vocaloid is open to anything. And honestly, I dont want to spend months myself arguing over if Miku has teal, blue or green hair, likewise I don't want to argue over dark, taned or black over Merli's skin  colour. It amounts to pettiness, as going back to the fan interpretations, open to abuse and suggestion.

I have no doubt that there is still a gapping hole in Vocaloid for skin colours, it annoys me that we've got such a problem when the black musicains have contributed the most to the music industry then most other ethnic groups and have defined several genres... But when a black or otherwise vocaloid comes along, we don't need to make a deal of it.
