You see, the Schymnil are shadow people. Their "skin" and "hair" are pitch black, no changing that. The eye color is the only thing that could be changeable, unless maybe I add more features to their sprite? I might be able to add in different eye shapes (1x2 is default, could add 2x1, 1x1, 2x2, etc.) but that may mess with the emotes? I have no idea what to add. Everything on them would be pitch black anyway, so I'm stuck for colors. Horns? Tail? Ears? All of these would also be pitch black and therefore blend in too much to be noticable. ARGH! I wonder if I could somehow tie in a particle effect to them and change the color/shape of that? Like a dark cloud surrounding them or something... Probably not.

FINALLY! Still doesn't allow for coloring specific parts, probably :/
yeah it doesn't allow for specific parts, but that's just because doing that would be a lot of hassle to do. the simple dye system already in is much easier.
and in terms of what to do for the race...hm. giving them tails/horns could work. you could also give them color as well, but only slight variations. really dark red, really dark blue, really dark green, etc etc. not wholly pitch black but really, really close.
