Im intersted in what people think about hair colors in anime... What they mean... Ill start by saying that Black and brown are usually universal, and dont have somehing specific
Blonde: usually european american, sometimes represents wealthy character
Red: females are usually quite tsunderes, very aggressive and easily provoked, while males usually have a calm nature
Blue: sometimes energetic, sometimes a kuudere, uncommonly serious
Green: more of a fighter, i usually see green haired characters masters of fighting skills, whether its magic, martial arts, etc
Pink: represents a calm fluffy nature, most cases they are cute and fluffy, ehile a small percentage being tsunderes
Silver/white: more like half half. Half being a serious calm, and a formidable foe, the other half being a kuudere/dandere
Orange: represents an energetic type, sometimes a klitz, only a very few orange haired characters are serious
Purple: the definition of tsundere, purple haired characters are often strong, with a tsundere nature, while a small number maintain normal personallity

Anyways what do you think?

Well dayum

Red: 1) Tsundere 2) Hot blooded 3) Dutch
Blonde: 1) Tsundere (extra points if twintails) 2) Delinquent 3) Foreign/part foreign
Pink: Genki/MC
White: 1) Rei Ayanami expy 2) Best boy/girl
Blue: 1) MC/important side character 2) Calm (Blue oni to red)
Purple: Ojou/president/etc
Brown/Black: Normal
These aren't 100% but it is what I thought of for this thread. I also had trouble for colours like orange and green because I can't think of many examples on the spot and their similarities.

I can't think of many for green either but I think it would be for energetic and rather positive characters but I can only remember one so I am not sure but I think it would fit.

After a quick rundown of my list, I got 15 with not that many similiarities. I'm halfway between calm/quiet/down to earth, energetic and a mixture of both characters. Calm/more down to earth: Jae-ha, Crusch. Energetic: Kayano, Anchovey. Calm and energetic?: Saki, Reina

Okay, so I've made a quick check as well and this characters seem to be way too rare to be able to make any conclusion but here is what I've got.

That scientist girl from shimoneta: calm, down to earth, curious

C.C. (code geass): calm, down to earth (aside from one part but that could be a spoiler)

Marielle (Log horizon): energetic and positive but down to earth when it comes to certain situations.

I've found few more but I cannot remember enough about them.

Well from those three characters the only thing that connects all of them is that they are down to earth and in control of the situation, simply put don't panic easily when put into a stressful situation (unless I cannot remember somethings)

However three characters are far from enough to say anything.

As for how I interpret green colour, I see green as a positive and calm colour that is also full of life and energy just as nature tho it doesn't really fit to any of those characters fully other than marielle.

Also I am not sure if eureka (eureka seven) counts 'cause her hair is rather blue-ish green, turqoise kinda-ish but if it does than she is calm and down to earth like the characters above.

If they have hair that isn't brown or black they are automatically a main character or side character but definitely not just a background character.

I probably regret this post by now.

Basically, if you have any color other than brown, black, blonde you're a faggot.

Okay... sometimes I truly envy the perseverance and meticulous attention to detail that other people could have.

I don't think about it. It's all shit. I don't like colored hair. Or Japanese characters with blond hair. It's a lazy way to distinguish the characters when you can't animate unique faces.

They mean nothing... I'm more curious about different eye colour though.
