Explanation:

As Portia and the Prince enter the scene, the Prince is talking at considerable length about the color of his skin.

When the Prince stops talking, Portia responds, ignoring his comments about his skin color. Portia says, basically, that whether she likes the color of his skin is pretty much irrelevant because whether or not she likes him is pretty much irrelevant: her father's wishes are that the casket test will decide her marriage partner.

Portia tries to let him down easy by adding that he's the best looking guy she's seen so far for the casket test:

PORTIA: Yourself, renowned prince, then stood as fair

As any comer I have look'd on yet,

For my affection. (2.1.20–22)

Of course, he's the only guy she's seen so far for the casket test. She could also be saying that he has just about as "fair" a chance at winning her as anybody else, knowing full well that his chances are somewhere between slim and none, no matter what he looks like.

The Prince nevertheless continues to plead his case, seemingly ignoring the rules of the casket test, as if Portia could choose her own marriage partner:
