What would happen if a black person used genetic modification to turn off the MC1R gene?

The MC1R gene turns pheomelanin into eumelanins but there are another kind of pehomelanin called pheochromes. So if a brunette or black person used a cosmetic gene therapy to turn off this gene how would they look like?

Would they became blonde, redhead, with white skin with light coloured eyes?

This is pheomelanin and pheomelanin:

The are pheochromes:

Since pheomelanins and pheochromes are lighter and varies more in color than eumelanins(which can be only black, brown, grey or yellow), what new kinds of skin, eyes and hair shades could this person opt to change to?
