I don't really think the grey hair is indicative of anything.
Whatever the reason is, let's please not use this appreciation thread against other characters. I don't want this to turn into another thread full of sour grapes against DC management for supposedly sabotaging certain characters in order to prop others. I've walked away from other appreciation threads that I used to love posting in for that reason. This is by no means any form of attack towards you or anyone by the way, I'm just saying let's try to prevent this thread from eventually turning into another "vs" debacle.
I think we'll have to wait to see Hal in something post-Death Metal before we make any assumptions.
I wasnt trying to bash John Stewart or put him down.
Just trying to think of a reason for Hal's sudden re emergence and much hated grey temple look that hasn't been.seen in decades.
DC's push of John Stewart into the spotlight was just a theory for that weird decision. Seems like a logical potential reason even though I disagree with it.

Was it just the one panel where Hal looks like that or were there more?
There's another panel where the Lanterns are at the party and Hal for some reason has no mask on but they're in the background so you can't see their faces clearly. I guess it could indeed be a coloring issue but it's really odd to have him stand prominently in front of the other GLs and look that old and at the very end of the "everything happened" story. It's not just his grey temples, he is wrinkled and his hair almost seems to be receding. It's a rather unflattering look to be honest.
For what it's worth Hal doesn't look old in this Generations Shattered panel.
Then for some other odd reason he was taken straight out of his debut appearance in the Multiverse's End one-shot.
I just don't know what's going on here. His appearance has been inconsistent throughout this entire event.
