Is there a way to change eyebrow color for custom hair?

I just checked in the game, in both CAS and the "Change Appearance" screen on the mirror. I don't believe anything has changed with NL. You can change the color of eyebrows, but only to the standard black, brown, blond, or red. There is no * symbol to allow you to change to a custom color for eyebrows.

All my custom eyebrows appear in all the eyebrow bins - you can have any custom eyebrow with any colour hair. Is that what you mean? You're right, at least with Bodyshop, there are no colour bins available, the Maxis options you get seem to be dependent on hair colour.
Hairfish:
When using "Change Appearance" at mirrors, there are color choices under Brows, and they're all available no matter what the hair color. Below is a Maxis blonde with Maxis brown brows. Notice there's no asterisk by the brows ~ they're Maxis. These choices are also available if you have a custom haircolor on the Sim being changed.
The reason I don't think this was available before Nightlife is...well, if it was available, why would anyone have asked me to create "Maxis Matching" custom brows??
If you choose a different brow color, then click on Hair, the brows will revert to a matching color. But if you choose hair first, then brows, they'll stay whatever color you choose.
Elders don't get all color choices, but they do get all custom brows. Of course, you have to have some custom brows in your files that have the Elder state recolored, otherwise the only choices are white, white, or white. ;) I didn't recolor the Elder state in my "Maxis Matches," but I'll rectify that soon, for those who don't have these options. Below is an Elder with Maxis grey hair, and some alien brows for which I recolored both states (Elder, and "everyone else").

When you create custom hair in Body Shop, the eyebrow color seems to be determined by the hair color that you cloned the custom hair from. For example, if you take a black hair style, clone it, change the color to light brown, and import it into Body Shop, any Sims you create with the new hair style will have light brown hair, but black eyebrows.
Is there any way to recolor the eyebrows to match the custom hair?
OK, re-reading, I see we're talking about completely different things, here. Sorry!
I have aliens with very obvious custom brows in my game. I'm not sure whether the babies I made when I created their families had the custom brows, since it never occurred to me that they wouldn't. I have to go check, or this will bug me all day. :P

I think the Maxis eyebrows are hideous. In my game at any rate they look as if they've been knitted. They don't look like hair at all, it's like a sort of woolly rope. I've downloaded ones that look like natural hair and make all the difference in the game. I don't know why Maxis couldn't have provided eyebrows made of hair instead of wool or rope or whatever they're made of.

I tried changing the proxy value to my custom hair color, dcbf7a8f-4cbe-9f9a-d352-d18d3a79c17a. There was no effect on my Sims in the neighborhood, but the custom hair disappeared from both the in-game CAS and the Change Appearance screen. As soon as I changed the proxy back to the standard brown 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000, the custom hair was available again.

Just to set some things straight: the line we're looking for in SimPE is Hair Tone XML. Check proxy(dtString). Change 0000000x-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 to correctly depict your color of choice. Again: 1 = black, 2 = brown, 3 = blond, 4 = red, 5 = grey (i.e 00000001-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is black, 00000002-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 is brown, etc). Click on commit. We're not done yet. Check name(dtString). Change the name to the correct one (i.e. Black for black hair, Brown for brown etc). Commit, save, done! I tested this out on a bunch of custom hair yesterday and all worked!

Wool and rope are cheaper! You know how much I'm offered for my hair? :P
