This fix is no longer needed. The November 20th patch fixed all CC Hairs, Beards, Eyebrows and Eyes.

I've found that alpha hairs (simglass shader) and EA-style hairs with custom swatches will not change colors in CAS if they are not enabled for random. I ran Studio's "Allow for random" on my CC hair folder, and with one exception all the hairs now switch swatches in CAS. I'm still looking into why the batch fix did not fix all hairs. I also did not try it on eyebrows or beards, so I don't know if it will work for that. People who have this issue could try the batch fix - if you don't like the result, you can always install the originals from the backup folder. The downside is that all the hairs fixed this way will now be available for random Sims.
Edit to add the download link for S4S http://sims4studio.com/thread/1523/downloading-sims-4-studio and the correct instructions.
After you install S4S choose "Content Management" from the menu at the top of the main page. Then choose "Batch Fixes"; "CAS"; "Allow CC For Random"; and "run". *NOTE* Only run this on your hair files. Running it on your entire Mods folder may cause purple mannequin people.
Orangemittens has discussed this issue with the Sims Gurus and they are looking into it as well.

Hi _orangemittens_
Thanks for the detailed description.
That was indeed unintended fallout from a bug fix. As you describe, hair that uses custom colors that are not flagged for random are broken.
There are so much hair CC out there, it’s obviously not good to break them. So I can’t make any guarantees, but we are investigating if we can make a reasonable fix. Stay tuned.

Update: We are testing a change that should correct this issue, at least all cases we are aware of.
This fix does not undo the eyebrow fix.
Can't give an eta, but we want to get it out sooner rather than later.

The solution is this: Download S4S, go to Content Management at the top, select Batch Fixes, then select CAS, then select "Allow For Random" and click on your hair folder or whatever folder you use to store your CC.

As it says in the first paragraph of this post the batch fix will not fix all hairs. You may have to wait until the SimsGurus release their patch for the rest of your hairs to work.
It is a work around for players.
@rosemow could you please help?
Hello @Dawne_art123
Are your save game files still in your saves folder?
If you move your whole mods folder to the desktop, then load the game, is a new mods folder generated in the sims 4 folder?

At the very top of the page, in the grey area above Animation and Build, in small letters, you should see File; Settings; Tools; Content Management; and Help
It should.
This happens when you run the batch fix on your entire mods folder and not just your hairs. To fix it, go the Sims 4 Studio folder and find the batch fix folder for Allow CC for Random folder with the date you ran it. The files inside are the original versions of your CC. Just cut and paste them to your Mods folder, allow them to override the batch fixed files. (or you can delete the files in your Mods folder except for the resource.cfg file before you paste.) Then move everything but your hairs to your desktop and run the batch fix again.
Take out everything but your hair, and run Allow CC for Random. The reason more of your hair is not working is that some of them were already enabled for random before you ran the original batch fix.
