Darker hair colors shouldn't be too hard to do. Run it through Photoshop and it should come out okay. I haven't had much time to play with the Gypsy hair, but I do like it. I always tweak the wisps so they don't jut up quite so much (it looks fake to me at the default setting) but otherwise I like the hair a lot. Some day, in my copious free time, I'm going to put some MAT files together just for changing hair colors for the Gypsy hair. Most of the MATs are actually for creating a style and changing the hair color at the same time. I'd prefer a set only for hair color and a set only for hair styles. The Gypsy hair is worth the price. Some day, I may get the Cleo hair as well.
