Hair color is one of the most easily identifiable traits of an individual. The color and style of a person's hair is one of the first things the brain uses to identify who we are seeing. This is why we tend to confuse people who have similar hair styles and color. Because of this, hair color is often used in media to distinguish different characters. Over time, specific hair colors have gained associated symbolism. In Western media, blonde characters have two major symbolic associations: Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold and Dumb Blonde. Brunettes are Brainy. Fiery Redheads are Hot-Blooded. There are some others too. Tall, Dark, and Handsome tend to be preferred as leading men. Some of these are rarer than others, and none are hard and fast rules. Blond and red are particularly stereotypical and common to find in media, since most humans tend to have either dark brown or black hair, so the different hair color indicates significance. Having Prematurely Grey-Haired characters is a way to show they went through stress or trauma. In anime and video games, white hair in a character who is too young can indicate that they're a villain (or at least someone to watch out for), unless it's Mystical White Hair, which shows that they're a magical being. For age-related greying, there is a Double Standard for white/grey hair. For men, it symbolizes wisdom and is more likely to be considered distinguished and sexy (Silver Fox). While some women with grey hair are seen as attractive (the Silver Vixen or Hot Librarian), for female characters it's often a marker that the character is a grandmother. There are different spellings to some hair colors depending on gender. "Blonde" and "Brunette" are used to describe women, while "Blond" and "Brunet" are used to describe males. "Ravenette/Ravenet" is sometimes used to describe black hair. The increasing global nature of media is causing Western and Eastern tropes about hair colors to mix. For example, Fiery Redhead was a Western trope, but it is now used in Japanese Anime. This may be because it already fits with other Eastern tropes such as Red Oni, Blue Oni. Animation provides even more options than the typical blonde, red, and shades of brown and black. Western Animation has usually stuck to more natural colors, while occasionally using slight variations that work better in the medium; such as using dark blue or purple to highlight black hair, or using light blue instead of gray. Japanese Animation, however, has decided to use a far greater variety of hair colors than can be explained by nature. For a further discussion of Japanese media and hair colors, see Hair Color in Japanese Media. In live-action films and TV shows, a character with unusual, bright artificially dyed hair may be showing they're a rebel (e.g. a punk). For kids from middle-class homes, a pink or green dye job will drive their parents crazy (the intended result). Compare Characteristic Clothing Colors. Tropes: |
