CK: changing a race's skin TONES?

[FastestDogInTheDistrict]

I want to replace the skin tones of one race with skin tones from another.

 

 

*I don't need to change skin texture. Just the colour of the tone.

 

 

Skin tones seem to be under Miscellaneous > ColorForm in the CK Object Window. Eg: HumanSkinBaseWhite01.

 

Now, let's say I want to change the colour tone of, for example, WoodElfSkin01, to that of HumanSkinBaseWhite01.

 

 - If I double-click WoodElfSkin01, and then double-click HumanSkinBaseWhite01, I can see that their R / G / B values are different.

 

 - I can make WoodElfSkin01 have the same tone as HumanSkinBaseWhite01 if I change the R / G / B values to match.

 

 - Or, I can double-click HumanSkinBaseWhite01, click "Select Color", and click "Add to Custom Colors" in the little color panel which appears. Then, I double-click WoodElfSkin01, click "Select Color", and click on the new custom colour that I just created.

 

 

 

My concern is - if I do this to existing ColorForms (the tones, in this case), will it damage my Skyrim.esm & Update.esm even if I am saving to a new plugin (eg: newracetonetest_01.esp)?

Cannot tell about your method, but CK don't edit masters.
