Yeahhh, but...I mean, she's only a couple of shades fleshier than CLIFF. And I see Caucasian skin tones done fine in comics all the time, and they have been for a loong time, so I don't think that's an excuse.
And look at Cliff's girlfriend, dark orange later, but earlier she's whiter than Rita. Interesting. A very garish and ugly coloring job, really. Everything is in too bright a shade. (and I hate the design of Cliff's body here--ironic given Staton's design for Cliff was obviously taken from Byrne's Rog-2000)
