Well Amélie’s circulation is… closer to normal humans’ circulation by the time Rei comes around. Like literally one of the reasons she and Sombra defected was because Sombra was starting to get the feeling that Talon’s treatments to keep Amélie Widowmaker were gradually killing her, and Widowmaker herself was feeling the last shreds of Amélie fading (You can read about it in Rain and Rain Pt. 2!) So one of the first things that happened when they defected was that Widowmaker had to begin treatments with Mercy first to stabilize her, (Because being away from Talon basically had Amélie’s body destroying itself attempting to return to normal) and then to try and safely transition back to well… normal living human vitals. So Amélie’s skin tone is closer to her ‘Talon’ skin by the time Rei’s around, but maybe Rei might see a picture when she’s small.

Rei: Why were you blue?
Amélie, not glancing up from a newspaper and completely deadpan: An evil wizard cursed me. He tried to turn me into a blueberry but he missed with his magic wand and it only turned me blue.
Rei: *gasp*
Amélie: I got better though.
Rei: *relieved sigh*
Amelie: But… he is still out there, looking for naughty little girls to turn into blueberries.
Rei: *gasp*
