Another thing that sort of got me thinking, with the patterns I've suggested myself - I wonder what green-haired characters are generally supposed to be like? (Or do they pattern at all? Can't think of too many representative green-heads)

Telulu from Sailor Moon

The little kid in the corner from Pretear (I forget his name)

Ferio from Magic Knight Rayearth

To name a few....

Also: I remember from another thread we fangurls determined that characters with white hair usually are more than they seem >.>

I think that the colored hair craze started when an artist accidently knocked over some blue ink onto his character's head and said, "Hey, that actually looks kinda good...!"

Naw. I bet that during a scene in manga or anime where there were lights flashing all over, a character's hair looked a different color in a certain shade of light, and it inpsired someone-or-other to make a character with naturally green, or whatever, hair...

...Did she...just say..."Fangurl"...?

I've always like Rei, Aoi, and Shinobu so I kinda saw the trend in hair colors for personality types I guess..

In real life, you can meet people who have hair so black, that it actually looks blue. The same with people with white hair.

That's what I always figured about Rei and Shinobu.

Actually I remember reading somewhere that the whole colour thing was used by manga artists to help make their characters distinguishable from the other characters. That was when things were done in black and white, (ie, they didn't shade or whatnot to create more variety).

Then when manga went colour, they could mess with more exotic looks.

Note: Black haired characters are usually traditional (in the Japanese sense).
