📋 About This Mod
This simply replaces the mouthhuman.dds texture that comes with Expressive Facegen Morphs with an edited version that has less bright and slightly less white teeth, for a more natural appearance that fits the denizens of Skyrim a little better.
Keep in mind that texture brightness in general can be affected by many different things and will vary at least a little depending on time of day and surrounding light sources, your lighting mods and ENB, etc.
Compatibility:
Just a texture replacement, simply put this right below EFM so that it overwrites it.

]Niroku for Expressive Facegen MorphsFor simple edits like this I use Paint.net with the DDS FileType Plus plugin. Here I simply applied a nonlinear brightness curve as well as an RGB curve shift.
The texture was saved using BC7 Linear compression.
Nordic Faces was used in those screenshots.
