I wanna a share a headcanon I have regarding the Good Hunter! ^^

This I came up with mainly due to the fact for some bizarre reason renders,art and figurines of The Good Hunter can't seem to decide at all what hair color this guy has!

The male one at least- either has black (artbook), brown (artbook and some renders(?)) And lastly white (mostly seen on figurines) and it seems to be on a FS default character that I found on the Sliders page of the Bloodborne wiki.

So to the headcanon I cooked up, whenever the Hunter consumes an Umbilical Cord... his hair becomes more and more white.

Like at 1 cord, maybe its not super noticeable, the hair just seems to have brightened in shade a bit.

But at 2, strands of hair have gone completely pure light grey.

3 is when patches of the hair start going full white.

And at 4 is the moment the hair has gone full white.

I dunno, i'm just spitballing 'ere but I thought it would be fun to share! :D

No, listen, your headcanon absolutely makes sense! Okay before we go, I want to post more of the Default Hunter images:

Here we have the hunter featured in merch, the hunter from licensed comics and the hunter(s) from character creation presets! And I agree with you that the mysterious unused face gotta be default one, because, yes, this is the placeholder used while working on the cutscenes:

( x ) Despite Paleblood Hunter being listed as young ( x ), he does strangely have grey hair! And yes I knooooOOOOOW that people CAN get grey in their like, 20s or something, but Paleblood Hunter arrives to Yharnam specifically "seeking the paleblood"! My interpretation of this was some sort of calling, when one day their hair and eyes became pale of color. 'Paleblood' has to do as much with Arcane as it does with beasthood! :p

Your idea kind of works even better:

Paleblood Hunter is strongly implied to be from the same country as Brador, who ALSO has green eyes and dark hair, much like preset Hunters (and those featured in artbook?)! They are portrayed as a guy with grey hair and eyes specifically in Hunter attire, and explaining it as gradual progression in Yharnam is a really cool headcanon!
