I can't help but think that this is a solution looking for a problem. If people wanted a band-aid that matched their skin, they could get a clear one. It would match perfectly. Those don't seem to be the dominant band-aids out there either.

I think that when people want a band-aid, they're just looking for something to cover their wound. It's only temporary and not really invisible regardless of skin color. If it was something more cosmetic for a longer time like make-up, I might see more of a point.
