One of my favorite hex colors is "Slate Gray": 2F4F4F (or 47 79 79).
I'm currently trying to make a character for the first time in Terraria, and I've found that the 'blue' value for color is prevented from being very low; further experimentation indicates that the more likely case is that the sum of the RGB values must be >= 254.
This makes a heap of hex colors unobtainable.
Why does Terraria limit the character color pallete like this? Are there any workarounds?
I'm aware that clothing color will become largely meaningless as soon as I get some armor, but it's the principal of the thing that irks me.

I believe the idea is to prevent people from making characters that are too dark. If you could turn yourself too dark you'd be invisible in some areas of the game, which would give you an unfair advantage in PvP.
There's a thread about this on the official Terraria forums.
