From what I remember about Drow, they're not black, it's more of a really deep purple. Though it looks black from a distance, you'll notice that when light shines on them(as rare as that it), the highlight is purple-ish.
It's a common mis-conception, though most people in this guild should know better, considering how often Drow skin is described in the book.
xd Sorry if I sound like a jerk, but it's true.
Well, not true... That is just the cover art.. Its hard to see facial features and much else if the drawing is coal black...
As it is described in all the drow based books, and even in the monster manuals, and other such stuff... It descirbes their skin coal black and obsidian at times
Edit: Oh.. And to the others, there is also the Wild Elves... Those are from Dragonlance tho
Edit: Typical physical characteristics
Drow characters are extremely intelligent, charismatic and dexterous, but share surface elves' comparative frailty and slight frames. Females tend to be bigger and stronger than males. Drow are characterized by white or silver hair
and obsidian black skin. Their eyes are red (or rarely gray, violet, or yellow) in darkness and green in normal light.
Drow males are commonly wizards or fighters. Females are almost always clerics and almost never wizards.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drow_(Dungeons_&_Dragons)Edit: I know.. Another edit... Didnt think that one was enough....
In many ways, drow resemble eladrin.
Drow have obsidian colored skin and pale yellow (or pale golden), silver or white hair, the latter being by far the most common. This hair is carefully groomed and cared for by most drow and worn long with jewelry and other accessories decorating it. Like all elves, drow are incapable of growing beards, though many males are fond of long sideburns
So, to recap... Drow, dark elfs, have Black skin, obsidian black, not a deep purple... Their hair ranges from yellow/white-silver, their eyes can be purple and red...
I understand that Wiki cant be reliable.. But as far as I know, and a whole lot of people, drow have black skin...
Yes... I love to argue <_<
And no, you are not the first person to point that out...
