@vohalika The Pathfinder Monster index defines the Svirfneblin:

“Svirfneblin, or “deep gnomes,” are a reclusive offshoot of the gnome race. They dwell underground in hidden cities, safe from dark elves and other subterranean races. They have skin the color of gray or brown stone. Males are bald, and females have stringy gray hair.“

And the 5e Monster Manual says:

“Deep gnomes, or svirfneblin, live far below the world’s surface in twisting warrens and sculpted caverns. They survive by virtue of their stea lth, cleverness, and
tenacity. Their gray skin allows them to blend in with surrounding stonework. […] Male svirfneblin are bald, while females have stringy gray hair.”

IMO, Pike Trickfoot should either have grey or brown skin unless they’ve reconned her subrace.

Well, as of the most current episode, the males of her family aren’t bald and the females don’t have grey hair, sooo… Who knows, really. It certainly seems like Matt isn’t sticking to those physical descriptions; if the whole deep gnome thing is canon, they don’t seem to look any different from regular gnomes. 

…For what it’s worth, I don’t recall Matt mentioning anyone’s skin color, though, so any and all brown or gray headcanons are still game.
