If anyone has knowledge on the Hirisplex system, key SNPs, or whatever feel free to post. I'm just doing this for fun, it's nothing serious, it's to complicated for me.
I used this online Hirisplex tool to predict the hair and eye color of several EEF and HG(Including K-14) stone age Europeans, just for the fun of it. All the samples except K-14, Gok2, Ajv-58, and Motala-12, have results from the most recent version of Hirisplex in their published studies, which basically give the same predictions.

I put each sample's geneotypes for each SNP of Hirisplex predictor, their location, their date/age, and their results in the Google drive spreadsheet below. I separated the stone age Europeans into 2 categories based on their genetic affinities(EEF and HG).

These are the facts we know so far
>Upper Palaeolithic HGs were mostly black haired and brown eyed(K-14 and MA1).
>Mesolithic HGs were mostly black haired and blue eyed.
>EEFs in central Europe and Sweden had hair-eye color diversity, and were mostly brown-black haired(2/11 blonde) and brown eyed(7/11 brown).
>Copper age people of the Pontiac steppe(including early Indo Europeans) were mostly brown eyed(over 90%) and dark haired(probably black)
>Bronze and Iron age Indo Europeans of Siberia were mostly blue eyed and light haired
I don't have the sources now but I remember reading(from reliable sources) that there's preserved bronze age hair from Denmark and central Europe that ranged from brown to blonde.
This reveals to me that European's stone age ancestors were a similar color to middle easterns and south Asians(and most humans in general), but suddenly it changed very quickly in the Neolithic and bronze age. EEFs from Hungary and Sweden show the begging of this change, even though genetically speaking they're most similar to Sardinians.
I'd imagine Gok2 could have looked something like this.
My opinion is that probably both the invaders(EEF-ANE?) and natives(EEF and WHG, ANE depending on region?) of bronze age Europe were going through the same color change, and after they mixed it simply kept changing. Universal change in pigmentation not one light population, mixing with many darker populations, can probably explain similar pigmentation stretching from Volga Russia to Ireland. But who knows ancient DNA has already thrown out surprises no one could have predicted, and I doubt it's that simple.
