Astralities' Hair Color Supplement
originally made for personal use, but uploaded upon suggestion

This mod adds a number of new hair colors to character creation that I felt were missing from the base game for fellow color enjoyers to play around with!

Last Update: Version 1.1 | 12th September 2023

Each color (except black) includes four variations:
- Baseline: matching hair, brows & lashes
- DB: matching hair & lashes with darker brows
new! DL: matching hair & brows with darker lashes
- DBL: haircolor with darker brows & lashes

For black, this system is replaced by two versions; black with black brows and lashes, and black with white brows and lashes
1.1 Update: Black variant updated to also include the new shades of white added in 1.1, for a total of 5 black&white variants.

All colors included in this mod are available for viewing in the images tab, shown on both lighter and darker complexions. Please note that for DB, DL & DBL variants I've only included examples; darker brows are typically ever so slightly tinted, but will not be as vibrant as the matching brows are. Darker lashes are always black, as small nuances in dark colors weren't particularly noticeable.

If there's any colors or variants you'd like to see added, feel free to leave a comment and I'll try to get to it.

Requirements

I recommend using Improved UI & BG3 Mod Fixer alongside this Mod.
I have not tested it without these mods, so I can't guarantee this mod will function as intended without them.

This mod functions normally alongside other mods that add more colors to CC.
I've attempted to avoid including significantly similar colors as those added by other modders as much as possible, but there may be some overlap regardless. Please consider also checking out other mods that add more hair colors to CC, such as Padme's Mods & SK's CC Colors.

Besides color mods, this mod should also function properly alongside others that modify CC, such as those that add new hair styles, faces, or tattoos. But I have not tested every mod like this out there - if you stumble across any compability issues, please let me know and I'll see what can be done.

Note: There's a common issue where hair colors (including those added by this mod) may show up as shades of red in-game when your Tav is covered in blood, dirt, or both. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about this at this time. If it bothers you greatly, your can circumvent this by using the 
no more dirt & blood mod by margerard. 

Current known issue: When accessing the hair color menu from the facial hair tab, not all options are visible because the window doesn't expand/show a scroll wheel. Please choose the hair color from the hair tab instead for the time being (this will also change the color of facial hair). I'm looking into this issue and hope it can be resolved soon, but in the meantime, this luckily shouldn't impact your use of the mod much.
