* {{Zigzagged|Trope}} for the ''Literature/AmericanGirlsCollection''. Named characters always have their race and/or ethnicity specified, both Girls of the Year and Historical Characters (and other lines such as the short-lived Contemporary and World By Us lines). However, the unnamed modern line (now called Truly Me) has ''none'' of the dolls given a specific race or ethnicity, as they're intended to be akin to "open canvases" to let purchasers create characters of their own. The medium tones have been used with more of the facial molds than the light or dark tones; for example, the Josefina mold has been used with all three availiable categories. Forthermore, using the Create Your Own system (which allows purchasers to pick the features of the doll), medium skin tens can be used with any of the availiable face molds offered. Basically, if the doll doesn't have a name, it doesn't have an ethnicity.

** This actually turns out to be a major plot point, as Walky being "generically beige" in comparison to his sister is part of the reason he gets ParentalFavoritism from their mother.

* In ''Literature/TheImmortals'', Daine's skin color is never noted, but she has very voluminous curly hair and mentions that she stood out in her home village - the people there, her mother included, are mainly pale blue-eyed blondes. Her father is a god of the hunt, described as having olive brown skin with green streaks. It's unclear how much she takes after him physically; some cover art gives her a darker complexion, some doesn't.

* In ''Webcomic/YellowBrickRamble'', a comic-adaptation of the second ''Literature/LandOfOz'' novel ''Literature/TheMarvelousLandOfOz'', most of the native-born Ozians are noticeably darker-skinned than how Oz adaptations usually portray them. However, they clearly aren't meant to be any particular real world race, given that some of them have unnatural skin colors (such as green or lavender) and most of them have fantasy-elf-style pointed ears.
