Hey everyone,

 

I have this modlist:

and would like to have gray hair for my player character, preferably this gray hair color:

It's hair on a helmet from a mod I have.

 

Do you have any ideas?

 

Kind regards,

You can mix any colour you want in Race Menu. Just click on the "Select Color" button in the hair tab.

Thank you! I tried that but I never got how to end up with a gray. The best I managed was a mild blond. Is there a specific slider position to achieve it? And what do the sliders even do/change specifically?

This maybe?

I believe racemenu represents colors in HSV. First slider has 360 positions, second and third - 100. You can simply use arrow keys to adjust values precisely.

That looks pretty good! Will try it with my ENB.

Unfortunately, in my ENB it comes out as white with a distinct hue of blue

Doesn't racemenu have 4 color sliders?

 

And I guess the hair on the helmet is more white than actually gray.

The fourth one is alpha channel (aka opacity).

Oh alright. So knowing the specific color code for certain colors (like one could find on the internet) should allow one to set the sliders in racemenu to these values and get that color ingame?

 

This is what I get ingame with what is supposed to be white hair, according to the slider settings. So I guess the issue is with my ENB, how it affects player hair colors.

In theory, yes. However, enb, lighting and, I suspect, standard textures of specific assets may affect the output color. You may have to play around with the sliders to get better results.

I wanted to thank all of you for all your help! Now with a little bit of fiddling with the sliders, going from what should be pure white a bit more into the light blue to offset the yellow tint of my ENB, I managed to get a pretty good result with regards to white hair color.

 

So thank you again for your time and effort!
