    This has been going on since the addition of this new black swatch for hair and should be fixed. Very visible in sims with darker skin tones.

    @Amj1995 Yes! I was so excited to use them just to fond out how awful the black swatch, guess they will become part of thr many eyebrows I wont use because of this. I know other items hace this issue but these are new eyebrows they shouldt act like this

    Sul sul,

    This is currently by design to prevent the brows from looking too stark or flat in other available colors.

    That being said, the color palettes can always be modified and this is currently being reviewed by the team for this specific case.

    @EA_Cade to me it looks like the two black eyebrow swatches have been swapped. 

    - the blackest [new] eyebrows go perfectly with the second blackest (blue tint) hairs.

    - the second blackest eyebrows go perfectly with the blackest hairs.

    @EA_CadeHonestly it’s incredibly disappointing that this is by design maybe just change the black swatch but honestly this makes the eyebrows unuseable and I hope you can escalated this to get it changed as it currently looks awful especially on darker skin toned sims. Cant you just make the other hair colours look leas stark and this one look normal is it honestly will just be an after thought and will make these eyebrows unsable especially considering the whole charade with hairs lookling like this making players angry so I don’t understand why it was done with these ones, I hope this is changed with this ones ☹️

    Hi @gooochyeee,

    Like I said above, the color swatches can absolutely be revisited and the team is reviewing this decision now.

    I'll share any other information I can as I get it.

    @EA_Cade Hey! I think I found why it looks so grey. The Blue-Black Swatch Looks neutral Black and the Neutral Black matches the Blue-black, So flipping the swatches will fix this.

    @EA_Cade I am asking once again. Is there any update relating to these eyebrows looking very grey?
