Learn how to recolor hair

Bloudwed

How hard is it to learn how recolor hair? What tools do I need? Mind you, I have no sense of what goes together or not when it comes to nuances. But I would love to start a rainbowcy in sims 4. Male and child hair Colors seems to be lacking though....

Recoloring hair, clothes, and other CAS parts for Sims 4 is very easy to learn. There is a tutorial at Sims 4 Studio forums that shows how. Although it uses clothes as the example the process for recoloring hair is the same. The tutorial is HERE.
You will need Sims 4 Studio and a 2D editor like Paint.net, GIMP, or Photoshop.

Thank you @_orangemittens_!
Was not sure hair and clothes was the same. Now I know and just need to try it out!

Super duper easy. If I can do it, anyone can, lol! @_orangemittens_ posted some great info already.

You can also use TS4 CAS Tools to recolour hair. Here’s how.

Quite honestly, for CAS recolors and makeup you're better off using Sims 4 Studio.

It has a very user-friendly interface, a 3D model viewer that allows you a controlled view of your recolor from all angles, and a very easy method for making your custom catalog thumbnails should you wish to make them. It has a tool so you can make precisely colored swatch thumbnails too. You can even change the appearance of the model in the model viewer to see how your recolor will look on different skin tones.

Unlike other Sims 4 custom content recoloring tools, it's fully supported and documented and there is a friendly help forum to turn to should you run into questions.

As ponderberries said above, it's "Super duper easy."

I believe the OP is better off checking out the alternatives (TSRW would also be an option AFAIK) and then deciding for themselves what they want to use, instead of blindly believing what the S4S marketing department "honestly" (LOL) tells them. You make it sound like those features were unique to your product, which they are not.

Marketing department...lol! Sims 4 Studio doesn't have a marketing department. The team is completely made of Sims 4 enthusiasts who work on it as a hobby for fun. It's great if we're creating a professional level impression though

Actually, Studio's streamlined method for making custom thumbnails and the tool for matching your swatch thumbnail color to the hair or garment color are unique to Studio and they're part of why it's so easy and fun to work with. The large online manual of Sims 4 tutorials showing how to use these and other features of Studio is unmatched by any other custom content tool for Sims 4.

And speaking of tutorials, I completely forgot that Studio has a hair re-texture tutorial too. While not exactly the same as recoloring it's closely related enough that it might be of interest to people working with hair also.
