Character Hair Colour

One of the positives of DT (for me) has been the presence of such vibrant reds on the clothes of NPCs. However, it highlights how limited the colour palette for player hair is. We have an abundance of hairstyles, but if you want really bright, red hair, you're SOL.

Please SQEX, don't limit us redheads to a dull, washed-out henna job. Give us some bright red hair-colour options.

Agreed we need proper red hair

It's even by design. Because in Solution 9 several NPCs have vibrant dyed hair that I wish my character could have too.

I wonder if those new NPC hair colors are going to be an option given to players at some point in Dawntrail. I mean, is right there...

However, we never really had a hair color addition, so I'm not sure if the base structure was made with an expansion in mind, unlike the face paint and hairstyle options, that we get new additions every now and then. Edit: not that would be a valid excuse imo, but I can surely see them saying that.

I'm personally not to keen in dyeing hair like that, but the bright hightlight could do very well, given how muted the common colors are for that purpose.

Yes, the very thing we need - highlight more aposematism. Not sure why they aren't promoting more of this.

Guess it'd be a problem for tanks.

And while they're at it allow Hrothgar to have the full range of hair color.

And those nice bright vibrant colors from Solution 9 for everyone.

More vibrant hair and makeup colors would be nice.

My sincere hope is that they used the NPCs as a test to introduce it to players later.

Or at least is the copium I'm huffing, given NPCs can mix and match gear types and we're still locked between healing/casting types.

Never thought that I'd type out the phrase "I wish I was an NPC", until I started playing FFXIV.

Absolutely, make-up is very limited and I dislike the fact that when I'm blonde I also have blonde eyebrows. I'm guessing eyelashes present polygon problems, but again a bit of variety and control would be nice. Never understood why we can have a range of face tattoos and other decoration when the make-up options are so bland.

yeah i noticed hair colors are less vibrant after the graphics update

Makeup has never been vibrant or done pigmentation well in this game, but the graphics update made it even worse for sure. My au ra lady's dark purple eye shadow and black eyeliner look muddy and sheer now. It's very strange.

I just want metallic hair colors already.

I'm told I'd look good in a stripper wig. Not too sure what to make of that. But yeah, metallic a la UFO would be nice.

If you get Kriles outfit dying it changes the color of the hair under the hood you can make that metallic

All these new colors are clearly in the game and are applied to hairstyles we can use, so it's definitely in their power to make them available to us.

If they don't, it's just a huge tease. I've been wishing to dye my hair bright red, instead of that watered down pastel pink that's a gigasad excuse of a color.
