Bro! Idols of Gods in south india are literally made from granite marble which is absolutely black

Even in north, any idols or anything representing a form of Shiva and Narayana are made in jet black.

Dude I’m literally South Indian. I know my culture. I specifically mentioned painting because the artist has a choice in the color they use. A black granite is black, they have used white stone as well. They don’t have a choice in the color because they chose stone that were available to them. Are you seriously suggesting Indian don’t have a colorism issue or are you suggesting colorism didn’t affect our art?

Yes colorism is integrated in present people because of desire of having rare Geno/phenotype of your next gen , but culturally it's next to irrelevant
