How to reproduce: Choose Viera as race (M or F) and set Pitch black color hair (or any darker shade color) either in character creator or aestetician and test in any old or new locations. Depending on ambient lighting and direct lighting, hair will almost always look washed out during gameplay/cutscenes, unless standing in dark areas.

Hello,
Hair on Viera race characters no longer has the same vibrant colors like in old graphic version.
Most hair colors I tested are washed out during gameplay, with black color ended on the worst end of spectrum. Only the colors on the light spectrum of the palette looks right (more or less - also depending on ambient lighting).

Game no longer render true black color properly (my favourite which im using on my main) and got "Fifty shades of grey" instead during gameplay, depending on location and light source.
Except when in character window or in total darkness, hair always shows washed out and hoary, without the right color.
Problem affects all Viera hairstyles, including those "ported" from other races

This problem affects other races too, more or less, but on Vieras this problem is most blatant. Problem is visible even with Gamma set to 0

TLDR: Game no longer render pitch black hair properly, which looks more like grey in most lightings for FViera and MViera characters

Hair lighting/shine for Vieras needs to be toned down, at least to the intentsity level of other playable races, or even better - to the intentsity level from before the graphic update

Or, ideally add new option/slider settings to character creator for "HAIR SHINE", because more options never hurts
:D
