But it doesn't take away from the fact that the new sage mode he got from hagaromo has nothing to do with the chakra cloak he used against madara. Notice his form had the ten tails coffin seal. And before he activated that he used it against Madara when his sage mode had no pigmentation around the eye. I'm saying his new glowing mode was activated from the other tailed beast chakra in which Obito gave Naruto not Hagaromo. So in other words it' s his newly enhanced sage mode plus the tailed beast chakra from all 9 tailed best. In Gaiden 3 Naruto uses Sage Mode with pigmentation. In Gaiden 4 Naruto uses a Kurama Sage mode, but it's clearly not the same mode as his Six Paths Sage Mode. Mostly because during the entirety of the Naru/Sasu Vs Madara and vs Kaguya fight naruto never uses Chakra hands. He even creates a bunch of Rasenshuriken without needing any clones or chakra hands.

So i don't think his Sage Mode was improved. Kurama Sage Mode was improved (no pigmentation).

I think that:
 * the Coffin Seal and abilities (levitation/TSB's) are from Hagoromo chakra
 * Kurama Sage Mode was improved to "perfect Kurama Sage Mode" with no pigmentation.
 * Considering the 6PSM has a cloak like Kurama's cloak mode, it's probably indeed different due to the Biju chakra.

Considering that Naruto no longer uses Six Paths Sage Mode even when convenient (e.g. against Toneri) and doesn't use it's clearly superior power to overwhelm Shin (in stead of the rather destruction-oriented Kurama (sage) Mode), it's likely that he lost the Six Paths Sage Mode.

Considering the above, it's clear that the Hagoromo chakra had two distinct influences: A permanent one and a temporary one:


 * Sasuke's permanent ability was the Rinnegan. His temporary ability seems to be having the chakra to operate it with ease. Even Obito mentions that using just one Rinnegan nearly overwhelmed him, this coming from a man who has Hashi cells and used powerful Dojutsu for years. Yet Sasuke, unlike his awakening of the Rinnegan, doesn't have any ill-effects from getting the most powerful Kekkei Genkai there is.


 * Naruto's temporary powers were Levitation, TSB's, Yang Restoration (Whatever the exact name). His permanent power seems to be complete and instinctive mastery of Chakra, to the point where he could perform Shape and Nature transformation without aid and even create Rasenshuriken out of thin air (that is, not in his hand or via clone). He easily combined any chakra with two Nature Transformations (e.g. Lava Rasenshuriken). It seems that it's this ability that makes him lose pigmentation on Kurama Sage Mode. In Gaiden he also uses Partial Cloak to stop a shin blade. His other permanent power is Perception, which he could use to detect Limbo, but also to detect people without needing Sage Mode (he only used Sage Mode for greater range). He detected Shin's surprise attack without looking.

So in short, Six Paths Sage Mode is likely forever gone with Hagoromo's chakra. The Tailed Beast Cloak is gone with the Tailed Beast's chakra (Naruto likely has a token amount left). What remains are permanent changes to Naruto and Sasuke that have nothing to do with Hagoromo's chakra or Six Paths Sage Mode anymore. The only thing with what you just said is it's a perfect kurama sage mode. No because both are to seperate techniques. Only time we seen him without the pigmemtation is before he fought madara, and when he fought Kaguya and Madara.
