The various skin tones of the elves is no less dis-simular to the various races of our world. depending upon where an individual is born and raised determines how their genes develope their body. through centuries of progression/evolution the body goes through constant changes and light skinned elves could develope a darker skin if they lived morrowwind due to the type of climate they would be forced to enfure. the snow elves were thought to be extinct, and yet they survived to tell us they went underground and later became the falmer. the mixing of races also lend credence to the ever changing skin tones. as is the case within the game itself...if you are the Dragonborn as a Kahjit and take a Dibella preistess as your wife, or a Stormcloak DB who takes an Orc wife your children will become a mix of the two races and possess the traits of both species as well as be lacking in certain attributes as an individual race. the color of one's skin does not make a person good or bad, but what they are taught and raised to believe is what they will become when they mature.
