[DT Benchmark v1 & v1.1] M Keeper Face 4 tattoo colour noticeably brighter

[foxfreckles]

Tattoo Colour (not Face Paint!) is displaying starkly incorrectly in both Benchmark versions when compared to the current live-game character creator; below is a comparison of my character with the live game version up top and v1.1 benchmark on the bottom, with identical settings*:
*I have omitted screengrabs from the first iteration of the Dawntrail benchmark as it is/was essentially identical to the way it looks in the current v1.1; it was a bit redundant side-by-side!



I have also compiled a graphic comparing an example of wonky Keeper colours alongside displaying-normally Seeker ones, both of them created following the steps in the next section:



I believe what's happening is similar to Face Paint and Lip Colour, where you can toggle between light and dark expressions of your chosen colour-- the live game has always been closer to what I would imagine is the "light" setting here, whereas the benchmarks have swapped over to use the "dark" setting for some unknown reason......... it's so frustrating because I can't recreate the original colour of his tattoos in either benchmark; there's no longer any close matches that blend naturally into his skintone as it did before, only too-bright, paint-like colours that stick out like a sore thumb :<

• Here is another Male Miqo'te Face 4 player with the same bug/feedback from the JP side of things!
• Another one from JP, exact same issue!
• A JP Male Viera's perspective too
• Not confirmed it's using identical colours, but presumably another one, EN!
• Also not confirmed to be using identical colours, but presumably another one, JP!

--------

EDIT: After a few hours testing across all races and genders that have access to the Tattoo option specifically, it's affecting colour opacity to varying degrees on:
*Hyur ♂ Midlander, faces 1, 2, 3 and 4
*Hyur ♀ Midlander, faces 2, 3 and 4
*Hyur ♂ Highlander, face 2
*Hyur ♀ Highlander, faces 3 and 4
*Miqo'te ♂ Seekers of the Sun, faces 2 and 4
*Miqo'te ♂ Keepers of the Moon, faces 2 and 4
*Hrothgar ♂ Helions, faces 2 and 4
*Hrothgar ♂ The Lost, faces 2 and 4
*Viera ♂ Rava, face 4
*Viera ♂ Veena, face 4

It could be down to the new lighting system or subsurface scattering for some of these cases, but it's wayyyyy too stark on Miqo'te specifically to be either of those, so I'm not so sure that's it!

Frequency: Always
Area and coordinates: Character creation

Steps:
1. Load either Dawntrail benchmark (v1 or v1.1; issue is present in both)
2. Create a new Male Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te
3. Select Face 4 and enable both of the claw-mark Tattoo options
4. Change the colour
5. Repeat and compare with the live game's character-- it is a visibly different opacity!

I noticed this, as well

Even though the original DT Benchmark (1.0) still had some odd colouring, I was at least able to get a colour match by selecting a different option ("colour 2" in the graphic below).



But with the updated DT Benchmark (1.1), I'm not able to find a comparable colour at all (see graphic below). You're right that all the tattoo colours seem too bright. I really hope they address this soon, because it seems like a really glaring issue.
