📋 About This Mod
What does this mod do?
Inspired by Dat Cass, I set out to figure out how to change Josephine's hair color. Fortunately as it turns out, it's fairly easy with minimal trial and error! Now, her hair is a richer, dark brown that hopefully better matches her vanilla brows, unlike her original grey-blue (????) hair.
Compatibility
This mod only makes a tiny edit to Josephine's hair data. It doesn't replace mesh or textures, so you can use this with any hairstyle, complexion, outfit, or accessory mod you might have for her, and install them in any order. I don't know how this would interact with mods that replace other NPCs with her model, but I assume the same way other cosmetic mods would affect her.
Known issues
You may also encounter issues when installing mods if you're using older versions of Frosty, as these mods have been made with 1. 0. 6. 0. Zarynskaya made a 1. 0. 5. 9 version of this mod, and agreed in the comments to share it on this page. Give that version a try if you suspect that version difference is the issue!
Otherwise, no technical issues so far. Depending on taste, you may find her hair too dark or saturated in certain lighting conditions, as some of the lighting seems to be designed to make grey-blue hair look more brown than they actually are. You can also see this with the vanilla black hair on the Inquisitor, which is also more grey-blue in neutral lighting conditions.
Recommended mods
You may notice the color differences in the modded screenshots are far more pronounced. This is likely because of KittenTails' vignette remover built into her Northern Lights mod. If you're not using the vignette remover, you may not gain as much from this mod. See the images and decide for yourself if you want to try it out. Other recommended mods for her if you want to achieve the same look in the screenshots:

[]Mysterious Josephine (modded) OR Deshine Mastermod (vanilla)
