Black facial tattoos and darker skintone

[Neodarkside]

I was wondering if theres a way to get true black facial tattoos (base game), using the extended colors slider mod (Name probably not right) the closest I can get to black is a dark dark brown/grey. Skin tone using that mod can only get a super dark brown. I'd like to see a not pure black, but dark grey, think Dark Elf (D&D style, not dunmer) that have a obsidian shade or a very dark grey. With hair color I can get pure black and with tattoo packs I can get pure black, but skyrim vanilla skin and facial facepaint I cannot.

I believe you'd need to use a different skin texture to achieve that. Should be easy enough to do a quick edit on an existing one.

You skimmed my post didn't you? Thank you, but as I said, I use Extended Colors slider. I had an old version and updated to the newest and I cannot get true black vanilla skintones or face paint. Facial and body tattoos YES, the ECS mod can get pure black on those, but not face paint nor skin tone. The darkest color I can get using ECS is a deep brown skintone and a dirty brown/grey facepaint. This is using the 2880 color slider, same colors as the 6880 slider as well. Here are a couple of pictures to show what I mean. So unless I am missing something from that mod, it does not help me, but thanks for trying.

 

Nord sliders fully on black

 

 

 

Dunmer slider fully on black

 

 

 

Face paint, slider also fully set to black.

There is a drow race I noticed that achieves a dark dark grey skintone, I might end up having to use that and hopefully I can tweak the colors and facial features to be more human. I am mostly wanting to do a dark grey skinned tiefling. I can sorta get that way using the above mentioned color slider mod, setting the skin to a blueish color and then tweaking it, I can get a slightly blueish tint grey. However, still can't get black facepaint. Oh... bonus points if I can somehow get vanilla face paint to glow like ECS can do with body overlays.

if you are looking for the drow race, because I can help. there are different versions, it is my favorite race.

I think that might be my best bet to get that shade of skin, does Extended color slider work well with that skintone? I don't mind the ears because Racemenu can shorten or change those, especially with the new version of Racemenu which allows for saved preset.

 

[Kestrix]

I'm confused. Why are you using Extended Color Sliders with RM? RM let's you adjust and choose any color you want.

[Neodarkside]

Didn't see this reply till just now. I was unaware that you didn't need it. I had an old version of RM for the longest time and I thought I recalled that without ECS the color options for a lot of things like Hair and tattoos was pretty slim.

 

Either way, still haven't found a solution, found another thread of someone with the same problem. Its mostly a problem with transparencies or something like that.
