By not having a colour wheel for certain objects or parts it makes player ask for more swatches that take up time and then because there isn’t enough swatches are not the colour they want (especially when they don’t have a basic white and black). It makes it harder to match things together. I think there is justification to put a colour wheel system in certain place as we already have ones for cats and dogs and it would make player not as frustrated with the game.
Where should a colour wheel be used
Skin: I think the skin tones in the sims 4 need a complete overhaul again the texture the darker skins are not right for some and do not look realistic. All skin tones need undertones of cool. neutral, warm slider that comes along with a skin tone colour wheel.
Hairs: I think this will allow player to create own ombres to their taste with colour they want, and pattern stamps they want so we do not have a limited option with the basic few hair colour we have. (this in facial hair, eyebrows and body hair if we get it)
Eyes: create own heterochromia eyes and patterns
Tattoo: I think we should be to create own body tattoo and draw own our sims so our sim don’t look repetitive and tattoos can match up properly together you could also stamp tattoo design in anyplace you want. ( check:

Frames: bedframes, window frames, doorframes, furniture frames, picture frames. By having using a colour wheel to change the frames of objects will make it easier to match items together.

2) As far as a color wheel for hair, skin, and eye color in general, I’m surprised we don’t have this already. Once they added the color wheel for pets I assumed it was coming in other areas as well.
The Sims is a simulation games of real life and people with heterochromia exist in real life so they should be represented. It not about celebrate heterochromia but removing the stigma around people with heterochromia. There are different types of heterochromia and many celebrities themselves have heterochromia. Plus we already have heterochromia with cats and dogs expansion.

I agree with you. We should have color wheel for skin, eyes, and hair, and maybr clothes if it's not too much.

(not always sims related but I review and discuss television shows and movies. Foreign or not.)
I play on console and PC now! YAY!
Nope it isn't. With Cowplants, Mermaids, Weather Machines and all the other stuff you really can't say it is, nor does it have to cater to every single condition or illness or anything existing in reality. Would you like war? Or terror? Just because it exists in reality? Well i wouldn't.
Yes but those are in expansion types of packs. It a option for players to buy. When sims first started and with the base game it simulates thing that we have in our real life. It’s not like the game started from base game with sims with wing or other supernatural elements.
I guess you're right. It's not like the base game starts with Cowplants, the Grim Reaper, Ghosts and Woohoo in a Rocketship.
Were ghost and cowplants in the sims 1? The game started off as something based SIMulating thing we have in real life. The quirks added don’t change the core of what the Sims was based on.
Plus depending on you belief some could say ghost and grim reaper make sense to tie into a afterlife.
I see. I thought you meant TS4 at the start. My wrong.
True, but the way they are depicted in the game is quite fantastical though.
Going back to your original post, I do like the idea of tattoo and skin detail paints/ stamps. I certainly would like more freedom in that regard.
At the moment we have just some stereotypical skin colors. Also the same issue we have with hairs. Currently in game my natural hair color does not exist.
My swatches suggestion:
Repose en paix mamie tu va me manquer :
1923-2016 mamie
Personally, I don't expect to be able to re-create in game every possible shade of skin or hair colour. I am fine with sterotypical colours, each with a few variants. Your chart for example doesn't have any variants for really dark nor pink white skin.
Unpark CPU and it loads up within seconds in TS3. Also, playing on a higher tech/suitable game with the Ram it requires helps.
Adding the option to choose from a pool of "frame swatches" might be more feasible than a color wheel for this. I definitely agree that we need a way to match woods, though.

Not necessarily true if it was there would be no characters that non-fictional in it, it is an simulation that allows players to get away from RL and create whatever they can possibly create within the games limitations. However, EA/Maxis is mixing RL life situations with non-fiction and most of the situations you see now in Sims 4 was not in previous versions so the formula that was used was diluted with each version and Sims 4 the most.
