Because Emma's past as an unrepentant thief, her failure to stop Snow from trying to murder Mulan and her own murder of Cruella contradicted this.

Why is Emma walking around with pale hair, pale skin and pale eyes while she is in Storybrooke; when Rumpelstilstkin had looked perfectly normal when he was "the Dark One"?

The pale skin isn't because she's the Dark One. They showed that in the EF she would turn gold. I assume she just likes to be pale or something. I'm sure she can magically fixe how she appears. Even Zoso looked normal when we first met him, so the Gold thing must be able to cover up.
