hairy issue

I'm using th V5 Elite Ponytail and aOA's advanced lights. I want the hair tox render dark brown, but even if I set the diffuse to a darker color, ii looks blonde vor too light. I've messed with a few settings, but can't seem to figure it out. Any ideas?

Can you show a pic of your hair as it's rendered? Show a pic of the settings where you can see ambient and if there's any subsurface scattering on it? Are you using Uberhair or anything to help it render quicker?
I don't have any experience with this but I think I've read several places that there is a "flag" of some sort that a user needs to enable to use hair and AOA lights at the same time with reliable results. Hopefully someone knowledgeable will chime in soon.
Um, that's weird. It seems to be the Opacity Active: On that's making it lighter. I Ctrurn it off, it renders dark. Everything else is default.
It does load with UberSurface.
here's a snip.
