{{quote|''"And for some reason, I got blue hair. [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]."''|'''Strong Bad''', describing his [[Anime]] counterpart Stinkoman, ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail57.html "Japanese cartoon"].}}
Line 6 ⟶ 7:
Hair Color is one of the most easily identifiable traits of an individual. The color and style of a person's hair is one of the first things the brain uses to identify who we are seeing. (This is why we tend to confuse people who have similar hair styles and color). Because of this, hair color is often used in media to distinguish different characters. Over time, specific hair colors have gained associated symbolism.
In Western media, female, blonde characters have two major symbolic associations: [[Hair of Gold]] and [[Dumb Blonde]]. [[Brainy Brunette|Brunettes are Brainy]]. [[Fiery Redhead
In Eastern media, hair colors are usually treated differently than in the West. This is simply because there are not many blonds or redheads in Asia. For example, in Japan, blonde hair is associated with delinquents, because Japanese delinquents tend to dye their hair blonde.
