I also prefer the subtler colors in earlier patches. If my older eyes require more light in specific situations, I'll adjust the gamma temporarily. I'd rather do that than play in a washed out world with over-vibrant colors. It would be fine to include new color options, but seeing my favorite hair colors (dark browns and auburns) replaced with tones I'd never pick isn't my idea of an improvement (with the result that I quit playing the patch before I completed character creation).
