I settled on describing my main character's skin colour as 'cocoa coloured', but one person I got to beta it didn't feel comfortable with the relation to food. Yet I can't think of many non-food objects that are of a similar colour, and I very rarely describe skin colour purely as "white" or what not, either 'white as ...' or use a word like pale. I have found differing opinions online about using food as a descriptor (some people tend not to mind, some are strongly against it) and was wondering how anyone here felt about it.
