You can't call the whole system a clown fiesta just because it does not offer a perfect solution for you. I mean, you technically can, but this is unnecessarily harsh and subjective judgement. It is not very respectful to call out something that others may enjoy as a clown fiesta, imo.
I don’t think Crimsomrider was dissing those of us who want (some of) our characters to have brightly coloured hair, just that if you want a non-human-natural colour for your character’s hair but don’t want it to be startlingly bright it’s hard to achieve.
I do agree on that latter point. I was trying to create a moon elf with dark and subtly blue hair but couldn’t manage it as even the darkest blue was too bright for what I was aiming for. The closest I could get was raven black with dark blue highlights, but it still wasn’t really what I wanted.
