seenthat has girl ranma on it her hair was either blue
or sorta a greenish-teal color.
Don't forget pink. :)
Call it artstic discrection. When it comes to manga, at least,
cover artists frequently use various color changes to hair or
eyes whenever it suits them. It's usually their preference or
when it would create an interesting overall image.
Now I know in the anime ranma had red hair but in
several fics that claim to be purely manga based said
her hair was red. now what I want to know is did i
miss when they said her hair color or is it just that
everyone has chosen to go with the anime on thsi.
Yup. Most tend to go with anime version, and the red hair color.
However, in the manga version, black IS definitely female Ranma's
hair color. Actually, it's almost standard in all manga that hair colors
are typically black, given the fact that most people in Japan has
black hair. Non-black hair colors are somewhat less common.
(I've seen many art posters by Rumiko herself featuring her with
black hair.)
I'm surprised that almost no one has attempted to write a Ranma
fic featuring him with _different_ hair colors, as opposed to either
red or black. Blonde 1/2 is the only one that pops to my mind.
Why not have her with, say, green hair? Oh, might as well as add
some oni horns to her head and make her a relative of Lum. :P
