I recall a post made by orochi for a person’s type of prefernce for a girl.
Just occured to me as I was trying to match anime character’s hair colors to IC screen numbers. Anime character’s hair colors seem to reflect their personality (although not always the case).
personally I seem to lean towards characters with pink or purple tints.
Personally, I prefer various shades of the colors blue, purple, and green. I think I prefer these colors because blue and green are my favorite colors.
Most of the anime girls I like have a “normal” hair color, like brown or black, although there are some that has green (HMX12 Multi, To Heart) or a bit of purple (Kaori Yae, Tokimemo 2). It is odd that I am not THAT attracted to girls with green hair, considering that’s my favorite colour
Of course my choice in hair color only applies to anime and not in real life.
I would have to say red. Red hair is the only thing that distracts me from my usual attraction to “cuteness”. Once the red-head is off screen I can start considering personality and physical features other than hair color. Cute and red-headed equals perfection.

Hmmm…
I’ve noticed that pink is used for characters that would be “cute” a lot. Can’t really pin down the other colors though. Anyone noticed any correlation with the other colors and personality?
Hmmm…hair color huh
For a guy I would choose brown or black (typical anime guy character )
For girl, I’d go for anything as long as it’s appropriate. However, so far I haven’t been dissapointed in a girl’s hair color in anime.
It’s funny how girls looked so beautiful with colored hair but in reality it looks strange
Kaiser Fire-san,
I agree with you completely about hair color on girls and women in anime as opposed to real life. High lights I have found to be attractive on some girls depending on the color and person, overall I tend to find that girls just look better with natural colors!
I also find that I like girls who don’t cake their face with make up. I wonder if they do not realise that they are covering up their natural beauty.
Kumiko-chan or any other girls out there, wanna help me out on this question about some girls who find a need to put on way too much make-up when they look soo much prettier without it?
Thanks Kumiko-chan!
I’d have to agree with mostly with Kumiko has written down, only other thing is that I tend to notice that anime characters with a purple hair color seem to be mature or older individuals.
The oddest thing I’ve noticed about anime hair colors is the high percentage of blondes in leadership roles. Mihoshi (from Tenchi Muyo) is the only blonde that truly matches the Western stereotype. While Usagi and Minako (from Sailor Moon) might come close to the stereotype, their problems seem more a matter of maturity.
If this keeps up I won’t be able to tell blonde jokes anymore.
Also, the entire movie “What Dreams May Come” is a study in color.
Anyway, since ultra-cute Kumiko-chan asked, I did do some looking into what colors meant a while back. First, age has a lot to do with how colors are thought of. Children usually only associate positive things with colors, while adults tend to have more neutral views. Also, colors usually tend to express only the positive traits of that color.
Now, as with any other symbolism, each color has positive and negative elements. I’ll just cover black to give some examples.
Now, usually what comes to mind first with black are such thoughts as night, darkness, evil, treacherous, hidden danger, lurking, mouring and such. Basically all negative thoughts.
However, black can also mean sophistication, elegance, formality, wealth (black-tie only events kinda thing), power, mystery, dreams, and thoughts like this as well. Think about it; everyone can think about the prom, and how all the boys wore Black tuxedos. Is the prom an evil event? No, it’s usually associated with joy, happiness, dancing, and the like. And, what’s more romantic than sitting out in the pitch dark starring off into the stars with your loved ones?
So, colors can have both positive, and negative elements.
If you want to know some more about specific colors and what they can mean, here is the page I created. (It also has more links to books and other on-line resources about colors.)

Thank You Nobody. I just been on the board since the end of march and have not gone back and looked at of topics.
I like blue or green color hair.
well…
i like the blue, green, red, and black hair colors… in no order or course… and in any color scale (light or dark ones)…
also… in real life i like the red and black hairs too
I love blue hairs, because it reminds me the beauty of the ocean. So a girl with blue is much more attractive than others.
