== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Zero no Tsukaima (Light Novel)|Zero no Tsukaima]]'' stretches this out. In season one, we learn about Tabitha's backstory and meet her mother, who has the same exact shade of light blue hair as her. Her butler, [[Mister Exposition]], tells us about Tabitha's evil uncle who usurped the throne. The story is dropped until season three, which introduces the mastermind behind the mastermind behind the mastermind of the events of season one. He wears a crown, and his hair color is the exact same shade of blue as Tabitha's and her mother's.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' Season 5, it is supposed to be a huge reveal that Leon Wilson is actually the younger brother of season villain Zigfried von Schroeder. Except that the von Schroeder brothers are the only Yu-gi-oh characters ever to have ''purple'' hair.
* In ''[[Faster Than a Kiss]]'', Fumino, at one point, meets a woman who, at the end of the chapter, is revealed to be Shouma's mother/Kazuma's stepmother, completely shocking Fumino...even though the woman looked almost exactly like Shouma, even down to the hairstyle.
* In ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'', Jack's identity is kept mysterious for some time...except the series pretty heavily uses similar hair/eye colors for families, and Jack has literally Oz's hair except with a braid attached. Little surprise when it's revealed that Oz is his descendant and partial-reincarnation. {{spoiler|But then, there was that plot point dropped a while back that the Oz we knew might not be the 'real' Oz Vessalius... and then the recent point about how Oz's body is actually Jack's...}}

* [[Rapunzel (Literature)|Rapunzel]]'s birth parents from ''[[Tangled (Disney)|Tangled]]'' have brown hair, while their daughter has blonde hair<ref> that's possible in real life</ref> due to the queen consuming a magic flower. Guess what color Rapunzel's hair turns into after being cut at the end of the film!
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
Line 23:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* In ''[[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|Chrono Trigger]]'', after traveling to the Kingdom of Zeal in 12,000 BC, you meet Queen Zeal and her children, Schala and Janus. The three of them have the exact same shade of light purple hair which is found on nobody else -- except Magus, who is actually {{spoiler|an older Janus.}}
* In ''[[Legend of Dragoon]]'', the revelation that party-member Meru and penultimate villain Lloyd are both Winglies is spoiled by their platinum (with a blue tint for Meru) hair, which is exclusive to Winglies.
* In ''[[Pokémon Black and White (Video Game)|Pokémon Black and White]]'', the relation between N and Ghetsis is played as a very dramatic twist. However, more [[Genre Savvy]] fans were speculating some sort of relationship before we even knew much of who they were, starting the moment they noticed such close shades of green and distinctive curls/fray/whatever-you-want-to-consider-it.
* ''[[Tales of Destiny (Video Game)|Tales of Destiny]]'': The only party member with hair similar to Rutee's (dark, cut short) is Leon. {{spoiler|Guess who's her brother?}}
* Notably ''avoided'' in ''[[Last Scenario (Video Game)|Last Scenario]]''. A [[One Degree of Separation]] twist is hidden by the fact that one character's hair [[Disease Bleach|changed color]], and by the time that fact is revealed, the player probably won't think to connect them to a random person in someone else's backstory.
* In ''[[Golden Sun (Video Game)|Golden Sun]]'' games, only Adepts ever have [[Anime Hair]] in wacky colors and styles, usually [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|reflecting their elemental affinity]]. Knowing this, anybody picking up ''[[Golden Sun Dark Dawn (Video Game)|Golden Sun Dark Dawn]]'' will immediately identify Amiti (cyan-blue) as a [[Making a Splash|Mercury Adept]], and {{spoiler|Blados (dark green) and Chalis (pink) as Adepts of some sort}}.
** Amiti's blue hair is a twofer, since he lives in an area otherwise exclusive to non-Adepts with brown or black hair. This gives away the fairly early reveal that he's [[Heroic Bastard|not entirely of local stock]].
*** There's an entire ''subplot'' about people noticing that Amiti [[Strong Family Resemblance|kinda looks like]] that one ''other'' [[Paper-Thin Disguise|plot-important bishounen with cyan-blue hair]], and [[We Would Have Told You But|worrying about whether to point that out to him]].
