For the new options. Maybe because the people insisted too much on WoW General Forums for the colors that they made Blizzard commit a mistake?. I dont see any reasons inside the Lore + Gameplay that could explain Void elves to have Blue eyes and normal skin color. Blood Elves however, Quel'dalar quest explain that they feed on the new Sunwell.
3- How does that fit with your idea that the Lore is immutable?. Blizzard used to be really strong on Lore, for example, with transmog. They became more open to allow you to transmog things, that you shouldnt have. For example: Legendaries. Now for races "looks", giving Trolls colors doesn't mean that suddenly the other tribes of trolls joined the horde, there is no lore to explain that, unless Blizzard does that in the future. But for the Elves, they made a clear difference between them for a good reason, and that reason is part with PvP and to the idea of not having repeated races on both sides. Blood elves are unique because of their colors and styles, Void elves are meant to be unique (But sadly people changed them to "Alliance Blood elves"), and be the elves connected with the void and dark magic, according to their story. The ritual that created them was unique as unique it was the process that Alleria took.
Now Alleria "was" a High Elf, now a Void Elf from what i read on the lore. But for the "High Elves", they are not the ones we use as playable. They are still the "Blood elves" that followed Umbric into the Rift. Those are the playable Void elves.
What i dislike about this thread and the other in General Forums, is that "All of you" demand Blizzard to twist the lore to whatever you like, just to play your waifus elves in the alliance, instead of using the already existing ones in the Horde. This is just an example of the selfish behavior, because you break the balance between the two factions. There is a reason that only the Pandaren, are meant to be a Neutral race, that can join both factions. Elves, already choose their faction, in the very intro of the stories and the Void elves, where meant to be an "option" for alliance players, to enjoy the "Blood elf" model, in an entire new race for the Alliance. But it was twisted by demand.
Got it? Are you going to keep up with that hostile attitude filled with "fanaticism" for your elves? or against the Lore?
Otherwise, post your demands on General Discussion in the officials threads instead of twisting this thread too into "I want Void elves to look exactly like the Blood elves". because that is bad already...

In ElderScrolls online:
The very idea of the fans twisting the Dunmer to have the same skin colors as an Altmer, would be as horrible as turning the Orcs pink just for the players demands.
That is why Shadowlands reflect poor choices in the gameplay (Because, Blizzard trusted the players demands), while at the same time, broke the identity of the game and the races just for being....lazy.
"High Elves" should have been an entire new race for the Alliance. + the Void elves we already have as a "Dark Elf" version, while the "High elves" as described by the OP of this thread as "Forest" elves with nice tattoos and hairstyles. But i guess people like lazy solutions, that is beyond me to understand...
