So I was randomly browsing MAL and stumbled across this clickbait article Top 20 Anime Girls with Brown Hair on MAL, already expecting my beloved waifu Taiga to be on the first spot I scrolled down the page and was not only surprised that she was on second place, but on top was Kurisu Makise, a red haired girl, in a top list of brown haired girls. Shocked my my discovery I did a bit of research and found out she has red hair in the anime and manga and brown hair in the visual novel. But since this is a website about anime the later shouldn't matter, right? So I clicked on the article about red haired girls which was made 3 weeks prior by a different author and to my surprise Kurisu wasn't even mentioned there. Already suspecting a conspiracy behind all this I finally looked at the profile of the author of the brown haired girls article and discovered Steins;Gate among their favorites. Coincidence? I think not. How did they get away with this and what do you think is Kurisus true hair color? - this post was made by a coping Taiga fan |
| "Kurisu's hair color" Is it terracotta? |
| Kurisu's hair color is chestnut brown in the visual novel and red in the anime. Although the VN is the source material, considering her hair brown when talking about the anime is straight out wrong. |
APTminer said: Found out the hair has the hex code '#44221d', and it is apparantly called 'Brown Pod' source So it is brown According to the color of her hair from html color picker when I used this photo -> https://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/10/114399.jpg which is the main her photo on Makise's graphic at MAL profile it seems that her hair color is actually a Tabasco, which is from the family of red color so her hairs should be Red x) -> https://imagecolorpicker.com/color-code/94260f here the result of what color is her hairs #94260f. |
| Brown is just dark orange anyway so both answer are correct. |

Yeah, you're definitely correct there. It's about lighting, since I used the picture op provided. |

| She is the best Tsundere..... Close the discussion.... |
| Haven't found a good anime dialogue to copy yet!! |
| Lab member 0004 Christina!!!! I looked up on google and it says chestnut hair in VN, which is a reddish brown. |
 |
| As a Maria Ushiromiya stan, I realized her hair color has that same issue. It can alter ever so slightly between red and brown depending on the artist. |

| Don't care either way, as it doesn't take away the fact of her being superior to every other character in that random list of top something. |
| In VN her hair is more brown, and in anime her hair is more red. Just browse VN pictures to compare. |
| If I was going to say either red or brown, then I'd probably say red. Those lists kinda suck though. One because color is complicated. For example the lists for pink and purple haired characters have some of the same characters, and I can almost guarantee no one could prove why one is wrong and one is right unless there are color scientists lurking around on MAL. But also sometimes they're just wrong. Rin is on the brown hair list even though I think it's indisputably black. You could say black hair is just darker brown hair but then what's the point of the list. |

Yeah that's true, I always wondered why we list blood type and height on every character but not things like hair color, should make a database for that. |
| I have the same issue with another of my favorite characters. Her hair looks reddish-brown on her profile page: https://myanimelist.net/character/13039/Rin_Natsume 100% brown in the VN: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/littlebusters/images/8/8a/Rin_Baseball_Field.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20120112032129 But its red in the anime. https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CMl2L28rCtU/UsBpxUQXKEI/AAAAAAAABig/9PpS8K2afiQ/s1600/Rin+Natsume%257E.jpg I want my precious Rin to be red-headed. It just suits her personality more than anything else. Same with Kurisu. I don't care what anyone says. It's RED, damnit. |

| I clicked brown on accident lol, she's a redhead, not denying that |

I confirm your opinion, she is red haired and your taste in girls is superb. |

Hair color in anime is a weird topic. Aika from Aria refers to herself as having black hair.  Does that look black to you? |

| It's a very dark red so in some shots it looks brown but in the anime it is a reddish colour |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Yeah, it’s a bit strange to have Kurisu in the Top 20 Anime Girls with Brown Hair on MAL. As for what her true hair color is, it’s chestnut brown. Her hair is a chestnut brown color in the visual novel, which is the original source material. |
| It's a brown color with a strong red hue. Both answers are correct as brown is only a darker version of some reds. |

| "Kurisu is a petite young woman with waist-length, chestnut hair, and dull violet eyes. Her hair, which she prefers to let loose, ranges in ginger shades all the way from mahogany to auburn. Her hair color differs considerably in the anime (red) from the original VN (chestnut), though this is only in artistic appearance. The "Kuri" part of her name means chestnut, and her hair color is meant to resemble the color of a chestnut." |
