Odd custom hair issue.
loripanori:
I'm having the exact same problem...
I only have about 3 or 4 downloaded hairs in the custom bin (weird colours like blue, pink, purple, etc.), but none of them show up the right colour in game... Like you said, the colour looks right in the change appearance window, but not once I exit. Funny thing is that the portraiture picture of the sim changes, so that in their little portrait they'll have purple hair, but in game it'll look black or brown. The 4 hairs I have are from different sites (XM sims and Raonjena I think), so I don't think that's the problem... but I'm not sure.
All of my custom hair colours are binned into the custom bin using Theo's colour binning tool in SimPE, so that might be causing the problem... I'll try re-binning to remove the family association... and maybe I'll try re-binning with wardrobe wrangler, to see if that changes anything. Let me know if anything works for you :)
Solowren:
It worked! Thanks Gwill. :)
Loripanori, I just changed the family of the custom hair that was screwing up, and voila! fixed. I don't remember if Theo's tool can do that; I've been using the Wardrobe Wrangler since it came out.
loripanori:
Woo, I'm glad it's fixed!! It's been driving me nuts. I tried searching for a solution before, but I always just got a pile of useless information about custom hair. I just exited my game to come post about it, when I saw your post. What a coincidence.
When re-binning mine with Wardrobe Wrangler I just noticed that for the hairs binned "custom" with theo's tool, the colour bin value and family value are exactly the same... Could that be causing the problem? Or is that normal for hair in the custom bin?
ETA:
Nevermind, I don't think it matters... I tried changing the colour bin value so that it's different than the family value, but the hair still looked brown/black in game... the only solution seems to be changing the family value so that the custom colours are no longer associated with the normal colour family.
Quinctia:
It ought to be able to handle custom colors in the same family as the other ones. I haven't had a problem in the past, and I binned tons of hairs when I originally found out about Theo's plug-in.

It ought to, yes, but some of them can't. I also binned hundreds of hair files when I first got the plugin, and like I mentioned, only a few have problems.
