All Hair Colors for All

[Limecat]

given how this game handles character data it probably IS a heavy lift.

Nah, we do actually know that hair color is stored directly as a standard RGB value. The current selections are an entirely intentional and artificial limitation. If anything, they've spent far more time and effort preventing people from breaking out of the allowed colors than it would have taken to give us numerical input or a slider and let use the look we want.

Stored at what level?

Everything I've seen of NPC data from browsing Garland Tools indicates that character hair colour is stored not as RGB values but as a grid reference to that palette. Change the layout and you'll presumably change existing characters' appearances as they blindly reference whatever colour is now in that slot.

Unless it's just how the website relays the information.

The grid reference would require less data, though, which might explain why they took that approach. Two numbers instead of three.
