This was probably the intent, but they used a bit too much blue, probably due to the cartoony style.

Similarly, I think that the requests to for all intents and purposes duplicate a race on the opposite side could have been better spent making a request for something actually new and unique.
Weâre arguing tastes and priorities here, none are really any better spent than another.

This is what Iâve always thought as well. I mean, just look at it:

Ok that looks blue but in the screenshot I donât see it.
Speaking of tastes, velves are my favourite Alliance race bar none, but belves are only like my third or fourth favourite Horde race. Help, I think my taste buds are broken.
I canât always help how people interpret my posts 
And frankly Iâm not inclined to go over every post with a fine tooth comb to account for every possible interpretation of my words.
Iâve been civil. Iâve tried clarifying. Iâve made as much of an effort as Iâm willing to.
Requests for the denial of an option to one race IS a waste of time. It does not tell the devs what options we want. When the devs donât know what options we want, they will decide for themselves what we end up getting without any input from us.
I canât imagine myself ever making a post opposing someone elseâs customization request. I would gain nothing from doing so. So I spend my time asking for the options I want.
I focus on asking for Kul Tiran assets to be shared with Void Elves to get the idea into the devs heads that they donât have to do another âVoid Elves inherit all that Blood Elves have!â to appease those seeking the High Elf aesthetic on the Alliance.
Maybe the devs donât care about appeasing those seeking that aesthetic on Alliance. I donât know. But they might care. And if they do, they can do it in one of two ways. They can take the easy/lazy/lowest-effort-possible method of copy/pasting Blood Elf assets to Void Elves⊠or⊠they could go the route Iâve suggested.

That particular screenshot was the first one I found of him with the updated model from WoD. Itâs probably the Plaguelands lighting obscuring the colour.
Say it loud, that still looks black to me.
Most likely a combination of the coloration of the surrounding zone and the fact that itâs more pixelated makes it look greyer to you.

Lann specifically said they should focus on Void options for Void Elves. That is telling them what he wants.

Thatâs super Zen.
It really doesnât. It only tells the devs what you donât want⊠and more importantly itâs telling the devs what you donât want for a race you arenât trying to get options for. Itâs not telling the devs what options you want for the race you care about.

Youâre falling into his nonsensical premise. Saying what you donât want is saying what you want.

I have no objection to more Void options. But you left something out. Lann essentially said Void Elves should get void options instead of anything not-void, not in addition to.
Thereâs nothing wrong with asking for more void options. I have a list of those I want myself. And letâs not forget that some options are just⊠options. They can work for whatever theme youâre going for.
Black or white hair colors work just as well for a Void Elf who leans heavily into void themes as they do for a Void Elf who leans more into the High Elf theme.

Lann has consistently been in favor of this⊠Cause it supports the void aspect of void elves.

My position isnât ânonsensicalâ I was very particular with my words.
When you spend time asking for options you donât want added to another race, you arenât spending time asking for options you do want added to your race.
The key word there is âoptionsâ. It provides the context for what I am talking about. Yes, when you say you donât want Void Elves to have blonde hair you are telling the devs what you want. But you arenât telling them the options you want for Blood Elves now are you?
