Green is rare and fun, especially the ligther tones. Also pretty rare, it's always dark green or straight up blue instead of light green.

Gray and white are simply superior to silver and metallic.

Don't get me started on pink, tho. That cursed colour is for pushovers or psychos. Or both.
I love pink.... what are you trying to say?

Green best hair color ?
Also screw green hair. -on that point, screw most other colors as well. Half the time when a series says "colored hair" they mean black with a thin colored outline, and a light splash of highlights. So lame.
What's so wrong about green? :cry:

White. If anything wrong happens to that head, the color change tends to stand out like a red flag, if you know what I mean. It's more impactful and dramatic when others notice.

...unless it's bird shit. Then you are at least saved from the shame of anybody noticing. :blob_sweat:

I had a thing for redheads when young. Of course blonde, too.

recently, I went with brunette for a recurring MC. The tan was essential to showing her muscular legs better, she was a college athlete. So she was Italian, which means brunette. Ive since come to appreciate brunette a whole lot more. I also feel this makes her more "accessible" for females top self insert reading her.

after so many volumes of her, she's gotten far too real in my head.

Well, at least you're not a fan of pink-haired characters... because that's often associated with certain fictional female characters. Lol

Edit: Sakura and Yuno... don't come any closer! NO!!

I genuinely loathe pink-haired characters, but as Eldoria hinted at, it might be that a few terrible characters have created a certain bias in me.

Seriously, I think the more realistic colors are the best: blonde, brown, black, brunette (technically brown as well, but I wanted to use 4 words starting with a b).

If you pick a crazy color, it better have some sort of plot relevance.

Ginger erasure is real.

And I don't think unique hair colors should have to have plot relevance. It's cool if it does but some things can just exist for character/ambiance.
