Code: 
                        switch(input("What Hairstyle Would You Like?","Choose") in list ("Styled Bowl","Short","Pigtails","Medium","Nevermind..."))
                            if("Styled Bowl")
                                if(usr.hair>1) // if your gold is lower than 10 it will disallow you from purchasing it.
                                    usr << "One Moment Sir" // tells you, that you cannot buy it.
                                    usr.overlays=0
                                    usr.hair-=1
                                else // otherwish you can purchase it.
                                    usr.hair += 1 // subtracts 10 gold from your original
                                    usr.overlays+=new/obj/Hair/Test
                                    var/r = input("How much red?","Hair Color") as num//set its red amount
                                    var/g = input("How much green?","Hair Color") as num//set its green amount
                                    var/b = input("How much blue?","Hair Color") as num//set its blue amount
                                    usr.overlays += rgb(r,g,b)// puts amounts into icon
                                    usr << "Thank you and come again!"



Problem description: Im trying to create a system that allows you to change your haircolor and I plan to use the same system to change the color of clothing icons as well. However, although I get no errors from this code its sloppy and doesnt do anything. I think my problem is in how I adress what the color change targets. How should I word this?

I didn't compile this nor did I test this:
                        switch(input("What Hairstyle Would You Like?","Choose") in list ("Styled Bowl","Short","Pigtails","Medium","Nevermind..."))
                            if("Styled Bowl")
                                if(usr.hair>1) // if your gold is lower than 10 it will disallow you from purchasing it.
                                    usr << "One Moment Sir" // tells you, that you cannot buy it.
                                    usr.overlays=0
                                    usr.hair-=1
                                else // otherwish you can purchase it.
                                    usr.hair += 1 // subtracts 10 gold from your original
                                    var/icon/Hair=new/obj/Hair/Test
                                    var/colorthing = input("What color do you want?") as color
                                    Hair.Blend(colorthing)
                                    usr.overlays+=Hair
                                    usr << "Thank you and come again!"

Change the var to:
var/icon/Hair= new('iconname.dmi',"icon_state")

Alright, now I am trying to change the system to be useable with my shopkeeper. But im running into an issue of how to target the object, change it, and then move it to the inventory
