fur color is darker than the skin

[jonlo84]

i used corona hair material on some fur that ive made with ornatrix.  when rendered the fur is much darker than the skin.  below is a shot of what the hair settings are for the material.  if you look at the eyelid or the lips, you'll see that the fur is darker than the skin.  how can i adjust the fur so its not so dark when its rendered?  i have max 2016 and corona 1.7
