I know its just that im not versed in DND and everytime i see Half Orc art they are green or Grey.

Half-Orcs are half Orc half... something else.

So it's perfectly possible to have different skin colours based on more than just geographical location and climate. You could be half white dragon, or something else with predominantly white skin.

I wouldn't get too caught up in stuff like this for "lore accuracy". Make your own story and provide yourself with an explanation that makes sense to you and go nuts.

Thought half orc was elf/orc? If not why not just say half human and put the sub-race for half elf and half orc instead of clustering the race selection

They tend to be grey, some are more green and others can be more human skin toned but those are rare. Rare however doesn't mean impossible so go nuts.

because racial feats
Lore-wise The setting of the Forgotten Realms have a holy disagreement between the creator of orcs and elves and as a result I believe they can't have offspring.
I believe this chart was made during D&D 3.5

White as in Caucasian? Or white as in Azog The Defiler from The Hobbit Trilogy?

This was my first thought when I saw the question. lol. Albino white I've heard of before, but no idea if it's lore accurate for the Forgotten Realms.

A farthing. :P

Oh, and from memory, i have never seen a human toned half-orc, ive always seen them as grey,green, or in rare cases. pure white from being an albino. but it is a roleplaying game, so roleplay.

Yes they can be. There are white orcs. The term or was made to be about peasants and zombies following orders.
What many refer to are goblins who are as well are kindred and elves are far distant relative with orcs.
They would be pale green. You could say that wood elves and orcs are closer related while elves with human ancestors are more human-like.
Wood elves are actually referred as pale elves since the wood dims most light they end up pale green.

For all what counts your character can be rainbow and try explaining it that your character fell into a kettle of magic potion as a child.

When you ask Halsin about his size, he does a comment about maybe he got some orc blood in him, so,, I don't see why not.
