So, do you watch anime? If yes then you might have noticed that these anime characters usually have different ( cool btw) hairstyles and very unusual hair colors. We notice that they even use extreme colors like red, green, purple, etc. Yeah, indeed anime is a fantasy realm, but these extreme hair colors are not made randomly. We know that anime concentrates more on depicting the emotions and feelings way more than any other animations. They use big eyes for the characters to express even the tiny bits of emotions and reach the audience.
This is one of the techniques used by anime creators to give the audience an emotional connection. Another iconic design for manga and anime characters is the hair with different styles and extreme hair colors. They don’t do this just like that. They have a very special reason to do this. They do this to characterize and express significant elements of the character’s personality. This is based on the color symbolism in Japan.
