I myself can vary a bit. I tan incredibly well, I can get really dark, but I stay a relative lightish brown tone I suppose. I'm Thai/Puerto-Rican irl.
My characters tend to have very dark shades. Currently I have a duskie. Before that, I had a very dark highlander. In other games that have odd shades, I usually do darker shades of purple.
I have a habit of making my characters generally darker if I can help it. I think it started with the fact that I saw it less often. Unless you count the every popular color scheme of black and red, but that's usually armors. I myself favor golds and yellows. Originally it was just to be 'different' and had little to do with my own appearance, even if I do stand out somewhat compared to some of my friends. As time went on, it's just what works for me.
I do have a few pale characters on other games, but it's lore reasons. I'd argue I'm not picky when it comes to myself, but I know that I'll always pick darker skin out of habit.
Which is funnier yet to me, because I find pale skin really attractive for some reason. A contrast thing maybe?
