Anyroad! I'm honestly intrigued by a lot of these answers. A few have delved into the reasons for their colors, a few have simply listed them. Neither is wrong, of course, it's just the color lists set me to wondering. Do you choose those colors because they simply look nice, or is there an underlying meaning to them?
I wanted to look like a drow without looking like a drow. Verad's shade is sufficiently dark enough to make him obviously Duskwight, but the blue shading of his skin - accentuated by his clothing - makes him stand out from most other Duskwight males I've seen, which veer towards the brown black ends of the available skintones. This combines with the hair and the beard - which are white, typical for portrayals of drow, but the result of age rather than natural coloration - to make him appear outlandish in a crowd, even amongst his own species, heightening the effect of a buffoonish and social character.
Silver just provides a nice complement to all of the blue.
