I heard it said that Sotha Sil, being the least vain and most humble of the Tribunal, wore the skin of the Dunmer in an act of empathy towards his people.
But then, that may have been a result of a misconception - apparently despite my impressions from what I've read, Almalexia was full-suited to her role as Mercy until loss of divinity drove her insane. Since Vehk is the meeting point between Seht and Ayem, it's possible then that Sotha Sil was the least involved and most distant of the three - in which case he's probably full Dunmer mostly 'cause he doesn't care. I mean, it's not like anyone except his own robots even see the guy 99% of the time.
EDIT: Just looked up some screenshots, and Seht is rather pale for a Dunmer, but it's implied he's been dead for a long time, which could probably explain that. It's also possible that his skin has blued up due to the time he's spent down there rotting, but I don't think it likely, simply because it's too deep a color for how brilliantly gold the chimer are. Still possible, though.
