Here we have God favoring whiteness, particularly linking it with the concept of a ruddy complexion.

7 Her Nazarites were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was of sapphire:
8 Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
—Lamentations 4:7-8

Compare this with the word Adam (אָדָם) which means ruddy. This invalidates the argument that "ruddy" refers to red skin.
