📋 About This Mod
Hair Colors That Actually Look Like Hair
Ever felt like Fallout 4's hair colors were a bit... off? Muddy browns, unnatural reds, and blondes that looked more like straw than actual hair. The vanilla color gradient just didn't cut it.
This mod fixes that. Every color was sampled from real photographs of actual hair — not guessed, not eyeballed. I pulled samples from multiple images of each color type, merged them to find the average, and used that as the baseline for a completely rebuilt gradient.
The result? Hair colors that are simultaneously more natural and more vibrant. Brunettes that look like real brunettes. Reds that actually glow. Blondes that shine without looking fake.
