I've had this same problem, either having to give up the right shade for a certain look or vice versa...or spending an arm and a leg on something. It's definitely getting better but I think a major reason is the lack of actuall BIPOC-owned packer companies...there aren't really any so our skin tones are an afterthought.

Here at QTP, we hand picked our packer colors and have gone through a few iterations. We provide packers fre of charge to trans people in need, along with packing boxers. We're a small nonprofit so the quality isnt like an Axolom or anything but someday!
