black hair-silver hair

Ruphuss

when rendering with "sun/sky only" black hair gets grey/silver color

how to avoid this so the hair stays full black even in full sunlight

taking out reflections helps but not enough

any thoughts ?

try changing the "glossy color" to an almost black.

surfaces(tab)>glossy color.

May need to change other settings as well depending on the particular hair's shaders settings.

thank you but did this already

i am talking bout mathilda hair which i like very much

but its hard to get a pure black in pure light

if this is the hair you're referring to

It's the "Top coat color" that's causing the issue.

I also noticed that none of the texture maps are an actual black, so you might want to drop those and switch the "diffuse color" to black.

managed it with top coat weight to 0.03

top coat color to black would do the job also, you are right and thank you

but with top coat weight you can dial a small reflection light
