Sorry, my friends, but whomever said that Shampie's hair was blue was
quite wrong. Takahashi Rumiko herself has confirmed that Sham-chan's
hair is purple. Please adjust the tint setting on your televisions :) !
Just had to toss that in there.

It's truly a sad day when you have to declare that the creator of your favorite
series is WRONG!!! Are you blind?? It's BLUE! Admittedly, it may appear
purple in certain instances, but that issue has already been satisfactorily
explained. As you can see for yourself, the majority of the time that Shampoo
appears in the anime, her hair is BLUE, NOT purple.
It truly hurts me to have to go against Rumiko Takahashi by sayinng this, but
I must do what I have to do. I cannot sit idly by and watch this falsehood be
perpetuated.

True, at some times Shanpuu's hair does appear to be very blue. Watch her
intro in the anime, indoors her hair is blue-purple with the emphasis on
blue, outdoors at night it is absolute 100% purple. How about for the sake
of argument we just call it blue-purple.

Grrrr.... Yeah, we know all about the supposed fact. However, never
let facts stand in the way of empirical evidence. Watch some episodes--
Shampoo's hair is definately more a blue tone than purple, at any time.
Perhaps an odd cerulean tone, but definitely more blue than purple.
Maybe we oughta have a word with the animators.....

I didn't think that my clowning around with blurple as Shampoo's
hair color would bother anyone. I was just being silly. In no
way did I mean this as any form of an attack against Shampoo.
I guess the Tennant debacle has gotten everybody on edge in this
ML, to such things being preceived as an attack against their
favorite character.
So to you Jason, and to any others who are a fan of Shampoo,
I apologize for my actions.

*Sigh* Jason, Jason, Jason. Do you have any idea how hard it is to dye
dark hair BLUE???? I mean, you can stain hair a purplish color(Purple is
Katie's favorite color). We've no idea how Manic Panic blue's look. Or
work. We know that Vampire Red makes her hair burgundy. It's too
expensive to buy alone. . . But if we all agree on one color(Wich we
usually do)(And there's a great varity of hair color to test it on:
Mousy brown, blonde, almost black. . . )it's only two dollars a person.
. . Otherwise it's eight bucks. ANd if something doesn't work. . .
That's eight bucks.
As for money: We'll rely on Kunou's paycheck, he _NEEDS_ something to
spend it on anyway! (KIdding) But anything else you can get us, we'd
greatly appriciate.
thanks for everything!

Just wondering. What are you basing the hair color on? Anime? Manga
watercolors? Or something else?
From the water colors, Shampoo's hair color looks like blue and a few
other colors I couldn't remember. Of course, Akane's hair color, in
that case, can be anything from black, blue, brown, and a brown-green
kind of color.

Dang it, Don, I ALREADY said the anime! And in most cases where you see

are ALWAYS exeptions.

Okay. Lets have a look at this.
Who out of the people who are arguing about hair colour use American
videos?
There is a standard for American tv called NTSC. This means that there are
more frames, but you also end up with colour bleeding, and the colours not
being exactly the same whenever you watch something (like jpg files).
Hence NTSC is often said to stand for "Never The Same Colour".
Now, if you want to argue about colours, you can't argue if you've only
seen the videos in NTSC. You have to have a standard like PAL.
PAL has less frames, but the colour stays exactly the same, all the time.
And there is no colour bleeding, either ... it's also got a higher res
than NTSC, too, I believe.
This means that you have to watch the video in PAL to see the exact hair
colour - and only if you do that, can you state that "Shampoo's hair
colour is !" ... Because on NTSC, you can only say that "Shampoo's
hair colour, on my video, seems to be right now."
And if you have SeaCam, don't bother. ;p

Okay...lets just say something and hope we put it to sleep, shall we?
Mr. Jason Hicks, I say that Shampoo's hair is purple. I say this because
Ms. Takahashi intended it to be that way, and the TINT setting on my
television is set in the middle. However, you and others insist that it
is blue, blue-purple, blurple (isn't that a hiccup and a burp at the same
time?), etc. Okay, that's fine. We are all people with minds of our
own, and if we want to believe Shampoo's hair is Strawberry Ash Blonde,
then we'll believe that's it's strawberry ash blonde.
My point is, Okay already, you've stated that you state that it's
blue. (Yes, I realize that sounded redundant and that it was
redundant.) I'm not going to argue with you, and nobody else needs to,
because you're entitled to say what you like. So are we. So...please,
can we give it a rest, neh?
I never realized my comment would spark this...as Nabs said in
The Two Akanes...Whoopsie!
(Some of you take this a bit too seriously, mind you.)
Anyhow, sorry to have started this. Hope this ends it.

Seeing as how Jason is alone in this one I must say this. I thought I
settled this back in December! Shampoo's hair is blue damnit! El pelo de
Shampoo es azul! SuD jIb! Not violet. Not purple. Not Sham-blue! I
concluded this due to incandescent color randomnice. I don't want to have
to repeat that experiment but if any of you come to AX97 I will. Kodachi,
if you dye Shampoo's hair purple this incandescent color randominice and
the use of your average camcorder would probably make her hair look
black. I know how this can be settled. If any of you meet at a
convention, pool your cash together and buy a cell of Shampoo. Then take
it to the nearest Home Depot and have the color analyzed. I am confident
it will say something blue.

Geez! Trying to confuse people even further...
ANYWAY, people... Look on the box covers for the videos. Her hair is blue
in the majority of them. Understandably, some people may mistake a beautiful
dark blue for a purple, but rest assured, it's blue.

Ok, I'm looking at the color pictures in the Ranma 1/2 Memorial Book.
In the full-page picture of Shampoo on the fold-out, her hair appears to be
a slate-blue (rather like a blue-gray).
In a number of other pictures where she's in the background, it sometimes
appears as a similar blue but a bit more saturated with blue.
*But* there are still other group shots where her hair looks purple or pink.
I think it's partly just stylistic tricks with coloring, similar to
photographs with different light; Shampoo isn't the only one whose apparent
hair color varies here...

Believe me, my friend, if I had anything better to discuss, I would!
Well, I DO, actually, but I'll ask THAT later...
Anyway, you're right; we're all entitled to our opinions, even if the
opinions of SOME people are wrong! But that's what makes
discussing it so fun; you can prove WHY you're right over
someone else.
BTW, on the Super Battle game, you CAN select Shampoo so
she has an Ash Blonde type of hair color. Looks REALLY tacky, though.
And thanks to Ukyou and Ted, who supported me in this whole color fiasco! ^_^

I think Albert has hit on something here, and thus
I spawn my theory...
Shampoo's hair, and several of the other characters
who have hair that wold require fashion colour
matching, changes to complement the color scheme
of the picture. Thus, a Shampoo in a picture
with lots of bright colours might have a darker
color blue, or a sweet, candy purple, while
a Shampoo in a pic with lots of pastels or lighter,
gentler colours is more likely to have a flat
, or slate blue approaching a blend with the
surrounding pastels.
Now this theory is completely unfounded
and undocumented, and unresearched, but it just
sounded nice, and I thought it made a good thought.

Ok it was a joke! *phew* Shampoo's hair is *roll of drums* either blue
or purple or violet. Maybe all 3 in 1. Like some kind of shampoos, you
know...

Ok since this is making you so worried Jason, I will finally tell you
the truth. Shampoo's hair was blue, but after long exposure in the sun
it turned purple, however when she does not go out for long times and
decides to close herself in the dark (making me happy) it becomes pale
again and turns blue, just to get "burnt" by the sun again and change to
purple. :P Just joking, Shampoo's hair is blue...anyway who cares what
is the colour of her hair after all?
