Fantastic Hair Colors for Heroes/NPCs

Description
This mod allows heroes and human NPCs to be automatically generated with a wider range of hair colors, including unnatural ones.

While heroes can be made to have any hair color you want by customizing them, without this mod they will only first appear in the game with a certain set of natural hair colors. This means that any heroes you make with unnatural hair colors will stand out compared to the NPCs generated (which may or may not be to your taste).

This mod allows both heroes and NPCs that you meet to be generated with new hair colors that have been handpicked (see the last image above for all of the hair colors that the generation can use). I have mainly included unnatural hair colors, but I have also given a small chance for heroes to have silver or white hair even as a young adult (but no wrinkles of course!) The mod also increases the variety of natural hair colors from the vanilla game that can be generated across all races.

The mod is weighted so that about 50% of heroes will still be generated with hair colors that are normally available to them through vanilla generation. This is so that the changes produced will be apparent, but you will still get plenty of vanilla-looking heroes. All colors added by this mod are also available to be manually selected in character customization.

@Krysis Yeah, the mod should be alright to disable mid-playthrough, although I have noticed that it can stick around if you don't restart and reload the game afterwards. I have also noticed that, when determining similar hair colors for characters that are related, the mod seems generally ok (e.g. pairing white and pink, pairing different shades of blue, etc.), although for some reason the genetics system has decided that black and green hair are similar. If I find out how the game works out genetics, it'll definitely be something I'll look into. I'm guessing the bug maybe had something to do with that, but I'm glad to hear that restarting fixed it!

Update: Restarting the game seems to be enough to do the trick:winter2019happyyul:

Disabling the mod seems to make all the randomly offered hair color either black or green :winter2019neutralyul: Any idea how to fix it?

TY I've always been annoyed with the generic automated color generation

Nice! I make all my heroes have a fantasy theme so this will help make the NPCs blend in better :D
