I told them the build is of majority xxxxx (the opposite color) people
Why on Earth would you even mention this? Also, what the heck does "opposite color" mean?

Now if I deny this couple (nothing was signed), am I going to be in trouble?
There's nothing illegal about declining to rent to someone with a significant criminal history. However, since you made skin tone an issue, it is certainly possible that these folks will assume you declined them on that account. There's no way to say this nicely: talking about a a prospective tenant's skin tone (or "race" or national origin, etc.) and pointing out that most of the other tenants have dissimilar skin tone was about most foolish thing you could have done.

I was talking with some wise friends, and decision is made.
Logic is, make up a reason to deny them in a nice way (I'll say the guy's credit score is not good, even though at the beginning I knew it and I said it doesn't matter because the girl has good credit), 1st. there is a good chance they will not sue me, 2nd. if they sue me, I still have good chance to win, 3rd even if I lose, cost should not be big compare to having a bad tenant.
You might want to consult with an attorney before you lump more bad decisions on top of the one you already made.
