📋 About This Mod
A natural, true to life hair colors replacer for all 15 vanilla colors. Tested in game with the latest Cabbage ENB 1. 2. 6 and Vanilla Hair Remake, with a high quality retex linked in description.
Ultra Realistic Hair Colors Replacer overhauls Skyrim's vanilla hair palette with 13 lifelike colors based on the Fischer-Saller scale, designed for use with Cabbage ENB or Community Shaders and specific hair retextures. It keeps vanilla IDs and order, and requires regenerating NPC facegen to see changes. A niche cosmetic mod with 227 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 227 endorsements and over 13k downloads, so it's a proven pick.
- Colors are scientifically grounded on the Fischer-Saller scale, giving a lifelike range from platinum to dark brown.
- Beard matching is a nice touch—your character's facial hair will actually match their head hair.
⚠️ Cons
- Only works as intended with specific retextures (LeelooMinai's and Khisartin's) and ENB settings; other setups will look off.
- Not recommended for greyscale hair textures like Dint999 Hairs—colors can turn greenish or purple.
- NPCs won't show new colors unless you regenerate facegen in the Creation Kit, which is extra work.
For Skyrim players who want more realistic hair colors and are already using Cabbage ENB or Community Shaders with hair specular. It's perfect if you're into character creation and want lifelike shades. Skip if you're using different hair textures or don't want to bother with facegen regeneration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use KS Hairdos, grab SC - KS Hairdos Retexture for the best look.
- To see the new colors on NPCs, you'll need to regenerate their facegen in the Creation Kit with this mod active.
- Take screenshots in RaceMenu at consistent angles and lighting to compare colors accurately.
