GROUP: Vampire
MEMBERS: Vampire, Dhampir
NOTE: the human depth range recoloured to a vampire pallor with concrete colour words (pale/cool/grey/ashen/muted/dull) so it actually renders; base ethnic depth survives, cooled and drained. Mirrors the human families 1:1, lightest to darkest.

GROUP: Android
MEMBERS: Android, Gynoid
NOTE: the Android metatype now reads as smooth plastic-polymer skin (Edgerunners look), so the coloration anchors to "synthetic skin" — the finish word (matte/satin/glossy/brushed/polished) sells the artificial surface, "synthetic skin" ties the colour to the body. (Gynoid still reads as hard plating; the metallic tones below suit it best.)

* matte light-beige synthetic skin
* satin warm-beige synthetic skin
