I'm new to the lore, so can you change the color of the imperial?

As in ? Do you mean make him a little more dark or a litte more light skined? Or do you mean in general make him Afrocyrodilican ?

Check out the http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1490450-imperial-video/

You can change the skin tone a little, but Imperials are generally light-skinned, so you can't make him look like a Redguard for example.

Any, can I change him to the color I want to play.

Thanks Rosveen....hmmm

How very politically correct of you

I would have imagined something similar to a Breton in the colour pallete.

Yes, just like with every other race.
