Akshually, Quetzalcoatl was consistently portrayed and described as having pitch black skin in both Aztec iconography and Spanish interpretations of Aztec iconography, as well as Spanish descriptions of Aztec iconography

>The attire with which they worshiped him consisted of the following: a miter on his head, with a headdress of feathers that are called quetzalli, The miter was spotted like a tiger pelt; he had his face, as well as his whole body, dyed black; he wore a shirt that was like an embroidered vestment, which reached down no farther than his waist; he had turquoise ear ornaments carved in mosaic. He had a gold necklace from which hung some precious little seashells. He carried on his back, as an emblem, a tuft of feathers fashioned like flames of fire; he wore some leggings from the knee down, made of tiger skin, from which hung some small seashells. He wore sandals dyed black, mixed with marcasite. He held in his left hand a round shield on which was a painting with five angles, which they call “the wind jewel.” In his right hand, he held a scepter like a bishop’s staff. Its upper portion was crooked like a bishop’s staff and abundantly adorned with precious stones; it was not, however, as long as a [bishop’s] staff. The part where it was held looked rather like a sword’s hilt.

>This [Quetzalcoatl] was the high priest of the temple.
