Summary:
After the Beauty Update a number of Monsters and NPCs became incorrectly colored. Likely, some obscure color options that were unique to monsters or NPCS got overridden by the expansion of player options.

Key examples would be Alexina who should have very Red Eyes but now has Green Eyes, and Eavan who should have Blue Eyes but now has another shade of Green.

Severity:
High, as this issue continues to remain in Mabinogi various official pieces of Media begin to showcase incorrectly colored Monsters and NPCs- which makes fixing these mistakes even harder.

Occurrence:
Always.

Details:
The Fan-site Wiki has attempted to record a list of examples at https://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/view/Category:2021_Beauty_Update_Errors but it may not contain all examples of the errors.

Replacing broken colors with near colors would be very helpful, and has in fact already happened once! Lorna Rissa previously had her Saga Coupon version broken but it was fixed after players reported it broken. This may have been considered an easier fix though, because the Tutorial Lorna Rissa's eye color was not broken and therefore another eye color was already present to be used.

Mabinogi World Wiki

This is a page for all NPCs or Monsters that were erroneously changed with the 2021 Beauty Update, likely due to the implementation of various new Skin Tones and Eye Colors for players to choose.

For NPCs:
Alexina, Ffion, Castanea, Myrddin, Shamala, Effie, Fraser, Shenon, Eavan, Zeder, Giant Guards in Vales NPCs are broken.

The Goblin NPCs Goro, Muro, Pero and Tiro all seem to be broken but it is hard to tell on them. Pero, for example, is obviously broken while the others are less so.

Shena's color is broken, but ironically her previous eye color was also broken as it did not match her portrait originally!

Lorna Rissa was fixed. 🎊

For Monsters:
The blue-colored Cyclops from Rundal Advanced, the red-colored Cyclops from Rundal Boss Trial, the Bandit Boss Ogre from Commercing, the Lycanthrope, and yes the Nightmare Humanoid are all broken too.

Additionally, one difficulty (iirc it is the easiest versions) of the Bandit Goblin during Commerce spawns in a erroneous blue-colored Bandit Outift (though this has been the case since Commerce's original release).

I've been trying to dig up pre-beauty update videos to compare/confirm, but I think the skin tone of peoples' nascent divinity forms might be broke as well? At least for any skin tones that got added with the beauty update.
Many don't match the player's actual skin tone at all, but instead display as wildly varied colors. (pale copper skin tone translates to bright magenta divinity skin, for instance.) Not sure if intended or just bugged, but thought I'd bring it up just in case it is broke

as for NPCs, even though i already reported it when i did the g14 typo sweep, Mercutio is also affected, but only the instance where he's dead in the g14 Romeo and Juliet, Act 3 quest.
