have red hair?

in my previous post to you about the color->grayscale shading..
i wasn't thinking.....

what i meant was the way Rumiko Takahashi
renders different colors in gray-scale.  Like I said, light
hair is half-toned or just white.  Just look at the Happi Love 
Pills beach episode(at the various beach girls' hair), or Akane's
clothes throughout the issues, or Cologne's hair, or Tsubasa's 
hair.  Yet Ranma-chan's hair is a solid black.  That must mean
she has dark-colored hair...and I vote that color is black.

        Thanx for replying.  Didnt expect that innocent little
question to spark up so much response.  Still, Ill go with
the anime & see it as red.  Since Ranma-chan wears the
same clothes & looks like Ranma except shes smaller
and more delicate...having red hair makes it easy to
tell the difference.

        Besides, a lot of the fanfics I read depict her with
red hair.  I have yet to read one that emphatically
gives her black hair...<yes, I know, I couldnt have
possibly read all the fanfics out there.  :p)
