The name 'Adam' is taken from the Hebrew word "Adamah", meaning 'earth' or 'ground'. Some Hebrew scholars also feel that the word 'Adamah' has it's root meaning in another Hebrew word, 'adom', meaning 'red', suggesting that the earth from which Adam was taken may have been RED in color, perhaps from a high iron content. This question has been discussed at length by scholars, but in the final analysis no one knows what color the earth was, where man was created, and it probably had no real effect on Adam's color, either way, since ALL his parts (hair/teeth/eyes) were made of the same 'dust'. (Genesis 2:7)(Acts 17:26)(Acts 10:34+35)

Why was Adam created outside of Eden?

I'm not sure we know that Adam was created outside of Eden. There was a geographical location called Eden and there was a garden called Eden. All scripture tells us is that God created Adam and put him in the Garden of Eden. He probably was created out of the ground in Eden and then placed in God's Garden of Eden. Regardless of where Adam was created I am not aware that there is any significance to Adam being created outside or inside Eden.
