I have seen both NTSC and PAL, but 95% of what I have seen is in PAL.
Now I must check on this one for you Jason, but I think that in the PAL
version Shampoo's hair is purple/violet and not blue. I am not kidding
this time. In a couple of episodes it was pale blue. Very pale. Example
when Cologne appeared in the TV series for the first time and attacked
Ranma while she was going around him in circles or something.

Since I haven't got anything else better to do right now, I may as well
look through the book at the pictures and see the colour...

On the inside of the foldout:

Shampoo has blue hair.

pg. 44 - blue hair with aquamarineish highlights.

pg. 46 - purplish-violet hair with magenta highlights.

pg. 47 - violet hair.

pg. 48 - pink hair with white highlights.

pg. 52 - blue hair with light blue highlights.

pg. 53 - pink hair with white highlights.

pg. 54 - purplish-violet hair with violet highlights.

pg. 55 - purple hair with white highlights. (bottom corner)
         pastel purplish-grey hair (top corner)

pg. 57 - pinkish-magenta hair with white highlights.

pg. 58 - purplish-violet hair with magenta highlights.

pg. 80 - almost navy-blue hair with light blue highlights.

pg 110 - blue hair with very light tinges of purple with light blue
         highlights.

pg 110 - dark blue hair with light blue highlights.

pg 112 - electrib blue with lighter blue highlights.

pg 113 - magenta hair with deep pink highlights.

pg 116 - deep bluish-grey (almost black in parts) with light blue
         highlights.

pg 117 - sky blue (painted to look like the sky with clouds).

Front Cover - Dark electric blue with light blue highlights.

(And in all of them, Ryouga has _black_ hair, not brown!)

        Well, I'm glad to see you're agreeing that Shampoo's hair is BLUE!

        I always thought it's purple or black, depending on whether it is anime
or manga.

I think we've discussed just about everyone's hair color.  So now I think
we can stop.  It's not like anything anyone says is going to change
anyone's mind, anyway.  (What color is Ranma's hair?? Look at the side of
your japanese volumes and you'll see about 25 differnet colors.)

You're wrong, Don. In the anime, it's BLUE.>>

I don't know wether Shampoo's hair is blue or purple, but it definetely
is not black...

Well, according to Don, anime doesn't count.  So :P; it's PURPLE. 
Actually, more like a bluish-purple, but it's NOT totally blue.

4. SHAMPOO HAS BLUE HAIR! Photoshop sez so. I took a vidcap from a PAL
tape, crystal clear, and used that lighing effect that makes certain colors
look 3D [bumpy, as the case may be]. I turned it on blue, and it took 20
minutes to process! And, I am well aware that it takes red and blue to make
purple, but I tried a red light filter and it didn't work. HAHAHAHA!

Oh, by the way....1. Thanks again, Kunou, 2. Jaymz....about my opinion on
you: one word. Cool. :) Violent, yes, but I like violent. You aren't afraid
to express your feelings, and that I appreciate.

Jason, can you ever accept the fact that Shampoo's hair is sometimes blue
and somtimes purple in the anime.  Akane's hair is drawn as a true dark
blue sometimes and there a few instances of Ryoga having brown hair for
awhile.  Coming off of a 17 hour Ranma-thon I have documented, with my
friends, every instance of Shampoo having blue, purple, or pale purple
hair.  The definate purple category had the most entries, sorry.
