Is there a possible way to make a more advanced system of changing the color of something, other than the most basic...?

var/r = input("How much red?","Hair Color") as num
var/g = input("How much green?","Hair Color") as num
var/b = input("How much blue?","Hair Color") as num

If you'd like you could use the interface color input. I find this the best way to change an icons color:

            var/new_rgb=input(usr, "What color would you like your hair to be?") as color
            if(new_rgb)
                var/icon/I = new('hairicon.dmi')
                I.Blend(new_rgb)
                overlays+= I

How would I implement that with this code?

Dye_Hair()
set src in view(1)
set name = "Dye Hair"
usr<<"Hair Stylist: Hey there, ever thought about changing the color of your hair?"
sleep(15)
switch(input("Would you like to dye your hair?", "Hair") in list("Yes", "No"))
if("Yes")
var/r = input("How much red?","Hair Color") as num
var/g = input("How much green?","Hair Color") as num
var/b = input("How much blue?","Hair Color") as num
usr.overlays -= usr.hairstyle
usr.hairstyle += rgb(r,g,b)
usr.overlays += usr.hairstyle
if("No")
return

Please use <*dm> tags for codes, it makes it much more readable.(<*dm>
code here<*/dm>, remove *'s.

As for your question.

                    var/icon/I = new(usr.hairstyle)//create a new icon variable for your current hairstyle
                    new_rgb=input(usr, "What color would you like your hair to be?") as color//show the color menu to simply select a color to apply to the hair

                    usr.hairstyle=I//Add the new icon to your hairstyle variable

This was made quickly, if you have any problems, just tell me.
