The game's dark skintones are lacking

I am honestly at this point shocked that for the base items like skin tone, hair color and basic clothing a HEX style color block hasn't been introduced that allows for finding subtle in between shades for skin tone especially. I can understand the limitations on walls, floors, and cloths with designs as the texture needs to be considered in the augmentation of pigments to ensure they look correct (color theory issues of some colors changing when put next to others)
And I do think the lighting plays a huge part of it. Many monitors gamers use are already "blue light" spectrum because of the LED or other back lighting technology it may be using his heavily reliant on blue to act as a modifier as red or green often create heavy conflict. Most technology functions in the RBG color spectrum which makes balancing a bit of a headache.
I saw a mod a few days back actually from one modder that was to correct the lighting in game to be more accurate. I wonder if such a mod or patch could be made for in game?
And back to the color theory thoughts - since it is a bright blue background it could have heavy impact on the tone of the skin as it is rendered because it effects it visually.
Can anyone who uses CAS get a modifer for their CAS screen and show comparison shots? I don't have the ability to post pictures yet.
