Ursula K. LeGuin goes after this in several directions: describing characters with all sorts of skin tones, making darker skin tones the norm (Earthsea, Werel/Yeowe), and hiding information about a character until the reader has presumably formed a default judgment, then tossing a non-default detail in (e.g. Forest and Riel being a lesbian couple in "Dancing to Ganam").
