* In ''[[Dungeons and Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the moon elves of Faerun commonly have white, silver, or bright blue hair and blue-tinted skin, while the gold elves (also called sun elves) may have metallic golden hair and golden eyes. Plus, the bizarre hair, eye, and skin colors of half-dragons and dragonblooded characters, who are descended from dragons [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]] (red, green, blue, black, white), or of various planar nonhuman races like the Genasi, who are the offspring of elementals and humanoids. To be fair, ''Dungeons & Dragons'' is [[A Wizard Did It|a fantasy setting]] and most of these listed races are just that: [[Loads and Loads of Races|different races]], i.e [[Halfbreed|not even]] ([[Interspecies Romance|entirely]]) [[Halfbreed|human in the first place]]. This can be transmitted to their half-human children and persist for generations.
* In the ''[[GURPS]] [[Discworld (Literature)|Discworld]]'' scenario "A Little Job For The Patrician", published in ''Pyramid Magazine'', the heavily anime-based villain insists his trolls all grow different coloured moss on their heads, so he can tell them apart, and his [[The Igor|Igor]] has implanted blue hair, just because.
* In the ''heavily'' anime-influenced RPG [[Mekton]], Mike Pondsmith's infamous Lifepath character generation system includes a table for hair color, which includes both more staid, real-life hair colors as well as anime hair colors such as green, purple, pink and, yes, blue.
* This is fairly common in ''[[Exalted]]''. People from the West often have blue, green, or purple hair, people in the East have green hair, Southerners have red hair (not red hair as in what our world calls orange hair, RED hair)...and that's not even going into the colors people get when they're exposed to magic. Wyld mutations can theoretically leave someone with hair any color of the rainbow (or, for that matter, with rainbow hair), Abyssal Exalted are often [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|White Haired Pretty Boys]] (or [[White -Haired Pretty Girl|Girls]])...the list goes on.
* Gnomes in ''[[Pathfinder]]'' are close kin to [[The Fair Folk|fey]] and often have brightly-colored hair as a result.
* While oddly colored hair isn't uncommon in ''[[Shadowrun (Tabletop Game)|Shadowrun]]'', it's rarely natural. Victims of SURGE, however, can take oddly colored hair as a negative meta-genetic trait. You can even have hair that changes color to match your mood.
* Due to the randomization nature of character generation in ''[[Maid RPG]]'', while your characters can have brown, blonde, or black hair, you can also have gold, metallic, rainbow, and ''transparent'' hair.
* ''[[Magic: theThe Gathering]]'''s [http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=222111 Reckless Waif] has pink hair. In this case, the unusual hair color is a [[Morphic Resonance|visual shorthand]] to make it clear that the pink-haired human girl on the front face is the same creature as the pink-furred [[Werewolf]] on the other side.
* The orks of [[Warhammer 40 K40000]] are naturally bald, so they use hair-squig implants (a small voracious creature with a colorful furry rear end that bites onto the scalp). In [[Dawn of War]] it's even used as a team color spot.
