The hairs this is happening on have the textures (all of the new ones, not just the dark ones) extending out too far and covering up the area where the mouth/teeth texture goes. The hair from Fitness Stuff also has the same issue with the old colors, where it covers up part of the inside of the mouth, but not as bad as the new ones do.
This comparison is of one of the new colors vs an old one (layered over a UV template). See the new one has a black blob completely covering the mouth's texture area and half of the teeth, and the old one also covers up part of the mouth.
This is what the old color textures do in game for the Fitness Stuff hair. Thought I'd include it too so it may be fixed as well.
This really is the same issue as these other threads:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CAS-S-Dread-Hairstyle-leaves-triangle-textures-on-Sims-Ey...
Maybe these all should be merged into one thread for hair textures that bleed onto the mouth or eye texture space. Because really, there's a lot more hairs with this problem, and they all need to be fixed.
Here's a list of all the hairs I've found with this issue (some more obvious than others):

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.75.125.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Base Game, Get to Work, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Island Living, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Vampires, Jungle Adventure, Realm of Magic, Perfect Patio, Cool Kitchen, Romantic Garden, Fitness, Tiny Living, Holiday
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? In CAS, the cornrows hair option from the Fitness stuff pack is affecting the teeth of the sim
What happens when the bug occurs? From what I can see, it only affects vampire sims. The hair option portrait displays the model sim with black shading in their mouth. Opening the teeth options for vampire sims displays the CAS model with the same issue with all teeth varieties.
What do you expect to see? The portrait with no black in the mouth and the clear, non-bugged vampire teeth.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
From what I can see, it only affects vampire sims, though the portrait is still affected for any sim

Bugfix mod!
I did a quick 'n' dirty bugfix for the two hairs (from Seasons and Fitness Stuffpack) - nothing was changed at the hairstyles itself (like color tagging...). I only fixed the files to show the teeth again. Let's hope EA will fix this soon, escpecially for the console players who aren't able to use mods.
Due to big file size I am not able to attach the fixed files itself, so download them either here from removed
CM Edit: Do not link mods on AHQ.

There's a mod for this now.
It's linked in this list: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-Common-Game-Fixing-Mods-Hero-Approved/m-p/10111432...
Good Luck

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Choose the hairstyle EP05WavyBob and select one of the newly added hairsyles. Then, do something to make the sim open their mouth (changing teeth works well)
What happens when the bug occurs? The sim's entire mouth and teeth will be the same color as their hair.
What do you expect to see? Their mouth shouldn't be the same color as their hair.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.

The screenshots I have taken (included below) were taken with a custom CAS background, I am aware. The issue is not caused by a mod conflict and can't be, as I have no mods that would affect a sim's hair. I did test without mods and it did the same thing, I just took screenshots before that (didn't feel the need to take new ones because it would've been unnecessary). It seems like it might be caused by some sort of texture mapping issue that happened while adding the new hair colors.

I agree @Skaazilla! Thank you for pointing this out. I know the hair-teeth issue has been acknowledged, but I worry that the hair-eye issue (links below) will be overlooked. I hope it gets fixed too as they do seem to be related.

I noticed this when randomizing sims and then tried it on a sim that was already made, and both times the teeth and the inside of the mouth changed color. Only happens with the new hair colors. I should also note that the preview of the hair has this problem too.
