Hi all,

I don't understand how this works yet myself but I believe this post in another thread is related to your question, so I shall link it in case it helps.

If you add this to the armors.rul to the corresponding armor (for mods with a standard set of soldiers):

     spriteFaceGroup: 6
     spriteFaceColor: [96, 96, 96, 96, 160, 160, 163, 163] # M0 F0 M1 F1 M2 F2 M3 F3
     spriteHairGroup: 9
     spriteHairColor: [144, 144, 164, 164, 245, 245, 164, 164] # M0 F0 M1 F1 M2 F2 M3 F3

then ethnicity will be visible on the battlescape.

This work as color replacement,
First we have `*Group` with define what color group (row of 16 colors in palette) we want replace,
If we find match in unit graphic then we take shade (column offset of row from palette) of that color and add value from `*Color` that is choose based on unit gender and look
