VrayHairMtl - how do I add more than 2 random colors to strands?

[Alex_M]

I'm making a beard brush similar to this one and for the hairs I'm using Vray Fur with VrayHairMtl. The hairs of the brush however are made of 4-5 different colors. My question is how do I randomly add 4-5 colors to the strands? I tried using VrayHairInfoTex in Random by strand index mode but it has the ability to add only 2 colors - Color A and Color B. How Do I make 5 random colors? I tried using VrayMultiSubTex instead of VrayHairInfoTex as well as plugging it in the Color A/B slots but it didn't work. Any ideas how to go about this?

Put VrayHairInfoTex into a Gradient Ramp in Mapped mode...
