Modders Adding Colorwheel For Hair/Clothing
So with the update for skintone and makeup modders decided to take that resource and apply it to clothing and hair. Sadly its a mod but hey, blame Maxis for not doing their job. https://www.youtube.c...

So I think the easiest thing for them to add sliders too would be hair but I can see why they haven't done so or are holding back from allowing the use of sliders on hair.
The way that models and textures work in ts4 doesn't really allow sliders to be use as detailed as players may want. The models are one piece and every part use the same texture map. An example would be the the Day of the Dead hair, the one with the flower crown. That is all one texture map. So if you use the slider on the that hair not only would you change the hair but also the flowers and ribbons in the hair. Same can be said for clothing items, use the sliders and the whole piece changes color not just one part. Some players may be okay with that while other might complain that they should be able to change one part, ie. a jacket without changing the the shirt underneath. They devs may feel that because of this limitation it is best to not allow sliders on hair/clothing at least for the time being.
The same can be said for objects. Want to change the color of the wood on a bed? Well you'll also end up change the color of the blanket, pillow, mattress, and any other piece that may be a part of that bed.
