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

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!
I understand what you're saying, but I didn't want black, brown, blond, red, or gray eyebrows. I wanted eyebrows colored to match a unique custom hair color that I created. (For example, if you have blue custom hair and you want blue eyebrows to match.) That is what I was trying to do, and I believe it is not possible.
I'm not sure why this is so hard for people to understand. I guess I am just trying to do something a little different. If it was just a matter of altering my light brown custom hair to use Maxis blond eyebrows instead of Maxis brown eyebrows, I don't think I'd be having such difficulty. What I want is eyebrows that match a unique custom color that I created in Body Shop. And unfortunately, I don't think you can do this.

OK karen, I read you now. Well at least I remedied some errors on the description of how to change custom, maxis-colored hair to match maxis-colored eyebrows. It needed to be done IMO.
Dea:
Why dont your create custom eyebrows to go with the hair? I dont think there is a way to change the eyebrow color when you create a haircolor. Thats why everyone so far has had to create a seperate eyebrow file.

I have been trying to do this, too. I have purple, blue, green, turquoise, pink, etc. hair colors that I made with BodyShop and made matching eyebrow colors for them. If I made the sim in CAS and used the custom eyebrow color, it is passed on to their children. But if I made the eyebrow color AFTER I made the sim, and then gave it to them with change appearance, it's not. They get the color of the hair I used to make the custom hair color. I even looked at PosieFlump's simdna tutorial at modthesims2 (which I printed for reference!) and she doesn't make any reference to eyebrow color. Just hair, skin and eyes. But I didn't check her link on facial features that are stored in the individual character file, so you might want to take a look. (Sorry, I don't have a link for you at this moment, but the name of the tutorial was "simdna" I think.)
If I can find it again, I'll take a look at the link and see if eyebrow colors are mentioned there.
Edit: Sorry, my bad. It's on the sims BBS. It's title is "Identifying & Changing Sim DNA". (I couldn't figure out how to do a link.) And I checked that facial link, but didn't see anything on eyebrows. If I find anything, I'll let you know.

One request, is it possible to make the brushed version of the Maxis eyebrows? Or can you tell me how you extracted them? I tried extracting them from the objects files, but they looked very sparse compared to the ones in the game.
I'm sure the brushed brows can be done just like the others. No special method of extraction...just BodyShop.
With Nightlife, you can use whatever color brows you want to, regardless of hair color. You could always use mirrors to change brow color, but now there's a color selection at the top of the screen, like the Hair area has. If that's always been there, then I'm blinder than I thought. :-\
When I use BodyShop to make brushed eyebrows, I only get black and gray ones, like I mentioned above. I don't get different colors like brown, red, and blonde. With Elders, they only have the color selectors for gray and custom eyebrows. That's why I have been trying to find the four basic color eyebrows to use as custom eyebrows for them, and I think the brushed ones look the most natural. The "thick" brows look like Ancient Sim said, like rope or wool. The tweezed look, well, tweezed. They look painted on. So that's why I was trying to extract them from the object files, but they did not look like they appear in the game. They looked very fine and sparse. So I can't figure out how the game creates the different color eyebrows or other facial hair because everytime I go into BodyShop, I can't find where to select the color and I end up with one file for black and one for gray. So if you could tell me how you did it, I would be ever so grateful.
