Grey hair has often been considered a sign of respectable old age. Unfortunately, not everyone becomes a Silver Vixen with age: those with one or two MC1R variant alleles will instead find that their hair turns an ugly dirty yellow. Older women in The '70s and earlier who wanted to be gracefully grey would therefore get their stylists to treat their yellowing hair with a blue rinse, which, with luck, would tone down the yellow and leave a silver grey. It didn't always work — for not everyone's hair absorbs the same amount of dye — and many older women walked around with distressingly blue hair. This led to this trope and also to the phrase "the blue rinse set", used in The '70s and The '80s to describe older women in general (and still used in British politics to describe old Tory women who don't think women should participate in politics and make sure that happens by taking control of local branches of the Conservative Party). As an Evolving Trope, considering that the elderly women nowadays spent their youth in the 1970s, especially those who were punk rockers, some daring elderly women are deliberately choosing to dye their hair ocean blue, hot pink, or even more daring colors such as lemon yellow, apple green, or fire engine red. Sub-Trope of Covering Up Your Gray. |

The Simpsons: Agnes Skinner, Seymour's "beloved smother—I mean, mother". A Flash Back shows she used to have light brown hair. Jacqueline Bouvier, Marge Simpson's mother, also has faintly blue hair, although in her case, it's just a faded version of her hair color from when she was younger. |

Alex's mother in A Clockwork Orange is shown with bluish-purplish hair. While audiences now might guess that she's a superannuated punk rocker, her color is an exaggerated blue rinse treatment. | |
