idk, my skin's about as dark as nito's and I'm not under neon lights daily or anything but my tone isn't that far off from hers where the skin's directly in the light. The real issue with the art is the parts of their body that aren't directly in the light, but I could see the artist just having issues figuring out how to shade that in a way that doesn't look jarring, since I doubt anime artists draw very dark skinned people that often.
