New hair colors

Is it possible to add new hair colors into sims 4? I ask because we kinda needs some new hair colors; mainly the console community that is since we can't use CC hair. Hair colors I'd like to have in my sims game are white hair, rose pink hair, azure blue hair and lavender hair. Anyone else can comment on what colors they want but yea. :P

What motivated me to make this thread was the swatches update since there is going to be a bunch of swatches for objects.

    ive never understood why we have 3 red hairtones but no desaturated brown. and one quite simillar grey and white swatch that could have been one white and one grey streaked red for my old sims. the choosen swatches seems unoptimized in terms of colors and player maximized choice.

    my ideal would be:
    make one red (maybe the reddest red) swatch into desaturated brown
    make the yellow hair swatch into a strawberry blonde
    merge white and grey swatches and make the freed up hair slot into a grey streaked natural red.
  • And corresponding body hair. (Well, maybe not purple or blue or etc. Unless you're into that?)

    yes body hair! i have it with cc and its one of my essential pieces of cc. id love for them to release some official body hair.
  • Gee, if they add new hair colors, they'll have to do it nine at a time... (but I can think of at least nine more hair colors we need!)
  • It'd be interesting if we could just have a pinwheel-style recolour palette. But I wonder how hard it would be for them to program...
  • Honestly, I just want them to implement non-natural hair colors for Child and Toddler sims first. Then, yes, I'd like to see a broader spectrum of colors added--a pale pink and a magenta, a mint green and a forest, a deep purple and a medium violet, and a navy blue...all to give us some more shades to work with in the unnatural colors.

    With all of the official hair styles that have been released, it'll take some time. But...well, all that they'll really need to do to recolor all of these styles will be taking the texture files into Photoshop and adjusting the colors using Hue and Saturation with the Colorize option checked. Hours of hard work to get the colors to match up right, yeah, but it shouldn't take more than a year to get the unnatural colors ready for the Children and Toddlers. Then, maybe another 24-36 months to get new colors ready to roll out for all hair styles for all ages...and that's an estimate based on if they only put, like, one person on the assignment. (And, yes, I know what I'm talking about here, because I'll soon be graduating with a degree in Graphic Design, so I know how long a simple color correction/matching job in Photoshop tends to take.)
