How Hair Colour Is Actually Applied
Hair colour is not a separate system with its own menu — it is a property of the hairstyle you are wearing. That has three practical consequences players run into constantly:
- Changing the style can change the colour. If the new hairstyle does not carry the shade you were using, you will land on its own default and need to re-apply the colour.
- The palette is the base; specific shades are the exception. The everyday colours are always selectable. Distinctive shades tend to be attached to particular hairstyles or to limited entries, which is why the same colour name can look different on two characters.
- Recolouring does not consume a reroll. Appearance edits are separate from the stat and style reroll economy, so experimenting costs you nothing you were saving for combat.
Because shades are tied to specific styles, the reliable way to reproduce an exact look is to match the hair ID rather than the colour name alone. Two players asking for "white hair" can end up with visibly different results.
Choosing a Colour That Works in a Fight
Cosmetic choices have one gameplay consequence worth thinking about, and it is not stats: how legible your character is. In a crowded courtyard, a silhouette that blends into the environment is harder for opponents to track — and also harder for you to read your own animation state during a fast exchange.
High-contrast shades
Vibrant and icy families read clearly against the school's muted greys and browns. If you care about your character being easy to spot when you are fighting in a group, these are the practical choice.
Natural shades
Blend into backgrounds and into crowds. Useful when you want to look like a student rather than a threat, and a genuine disadvantage if you are trying to track a teammate in a scrum.
Pastel and soft families
Sit in the middle: readable in the open, less obvious at range. They also tend to clash with nothing, which is why they stay the most popular group for character-first players.
