Four red, a rich brown and a white recolor of
Rose Sims2 unisex pixie hair mesh for
females. The male recolors are posted in a thread in this section. These are simple recolors of Rose's textures with original alphas. Thank you, Rose, for allowing me to do these recolors.
These recolors were done for the
Natural Redhead Project to make more hairstyles available in the many beautiful naturally occurring shades of red hair. The red recolors are available in four shades: auburn, copper, ginger and strawberry blonde. There is also a rich shade of mid-brown and an ice white. The recolors are color binned red except for brown (binned brown) and white (custom). It may seem odd to put shades that range from rusty blonde to brown red in the red bin but the goal is to make the full spectrum of red shades available to genetic redheads.
The pixie style comes in toddler through elder. The elder hair comes in two shades: brown and auburn have salt and pepper while copper, ginger and strawberry blonde come with an ivory white shade. The white custom color is white for all ages. The toddler hair is the fine, sparse Maxis toddler hair. The original female textures have a bald toddler hair so I substituted this texture. I recolored the toddler hair to approximate the other ages' color.
