What determines Argonians' "hair" colour / Vampire skin colour?

Dear fellow Argonian players,

can you help we with those two questions?

I want to make a new Argonian and I am looking for some insights on how the "hair colour" choice in the creation screen is reflected in game by Crown Store "hairstyles". I tried to give one of my Argonians a pale / white "fin" (?) on his head and when I changed it in game to a Crown Store hairstyle it was all of a sudden yellow/ocherous.

And I've read that Argonians have different "Vampire skin colours", e.g. a yellow Argonian looks different than a green Argonian when becoming a Vampire (one turns white, the other light green etc.) - is it determined by "logic"? So yellow will become lighter yellow / white or how does this work? And I'd love to see some of your Vampire Argonians (if you'd like to share some pics).

Thank you all!

    This is interesting. I had no idea that their vampirism was so unique.

    For hair styles, the horn parts generally have a yellowish tint the closer you go to white. Feathers and fin membranes are more true to the hair color swatch you pick. It's not possible to get white horns.

    Scales at stage 4 vampirism will take whatever your base scale color is and desaturate/brighten it to the brink of being a pure shade of white, but not entirely. Yellow scales will become a very pale yellow, blue scales become a very pale blue.

    I removed the scale patterns so the actual color would be more apparent:

    Red scale base / Red horns

    Also keep in mind that the claws inherit the color of one of them, if you were planning on keeping them visible.

    Don't incorporate bugs into your builds, and you won't have [an] issue.
