A lot of anime featuring colored hair characters. Based on my recently watch anime my brain started spitting out questions, one of them is "Is a pink-haired anime girl always two-faced?". This question also makes more questions like "There is a correlation between hair color with character personality?". Do you think hair color in anime affects character personality?

Pink = psycho, either yandere, or a two face type character that acts nice on the surface, but have a twisted personality underneath. or unhinged in some manner.
and i say that with some of the pink hair girls being my favorite.

also blonde hair is usually tsundere/rebellious
but that actually has cultural tie to japan and delinquents dying there hair.

Blue = usually cool, calm and collected

Green = It is kind of difficult to point any trait because green haired characters are so varied but maybe determined?

it seems absolutely intuitive to me to use a hair color to help visually express character, but I don't think you're going to score anything too consistent or meaningful if you're trying to find a trend across multiple various anime. You may as well attempt the same with eye-color, body shape, or clothing preference

It just became easy to attribute colour to personality. Pink hair use to be more common for the sweet, caring character but thanks to a certain anime it became the yandere hair.

I don't know if I've seen enough to really say accurately and my observations may differ but here goes...

Red: Firery personality

Blonde: Usually Tsunderes or snobbish

White: Intelligent

Silver: Old (usually their vampires or another ancient being, only in a younger form)

cowboy bebop has color cordinated characters to reflect their perosnality like say spike being blue for his moody personality.

I find white/silver haired characters (killua, gintoki, gojo, etc.) to usually be badass.

I think a lot of anime hair colors often correlate with specific personalities though exceptions exist.
like
Pink=energetic characters like Moka and lala
Blue=More relaxed chill characters
Purple=dark backstory maybe shinobi
White=Stoics
Red=Most common tsundere color
