No longer a trope.


'''Basic Trope''': Either a character's hair is said to be a normal colour but looks like a similar, yet [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair way less normal]], colour, or a character's hair is an unusual colour but viewers falsely remember it to be a normal colour.

* '''Straight''':
** Alice is said to have black hair by everyone in the cartoon she features in, but to people viewing the show, it's actually navy blue.
** Alice has navy blue hair but a lot of viewers falsely remember it as being black.
* '''Exaggerated''':
** Alice's hair is said to be black, but it's actually ''pink''.
** Every single viewer has a different opinion on what colour Alice's hair is.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Only a few viewers remember Alice with black hair.
** Alice's hair is a reddish-brown that varies a bit due to animation errors, so some viewers think she's a brunette and others think she's a redhead.
* '''Justified''':
** Alice's natural hair colour is black, but she dyes it blue. However, she doesn't bleach it and it comes out an extremely dark blue that's only noticeable in bright light.
** The show has a lot of animation errors and Alice is the only character with weird-coloured hair, so the viewers presume that Alice's navy blue hair is just another animation error.
* '''Inverted''': Alice has black hair, but everyone (either the viewers or the characters) says it's blue.
* '''Subverted''':
** Alice's hair appears navy blue in the first season [[EarlyEnstallmentWeirdness but turns black afterwards]].
** At first, people start remembering Alice's hair as black, but when the next season starts with fewer errors, they begin to see that it's blue.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Then on the third season, it turns blue again but they still say it's black.
** On the third season, the viewers start wondering if Alice's hair really ''is'' black.
* '''Parodied''': Alice is a character on a ShowWithinAShow whose hair is clearly neon green, but the viewers see it as brown.
* '''Zigzagged''':
** Alice's hair keeps changing colour and/or characters keep referring to it as different colours.
** Some viewers think Alice's hair is black, others know it is navy blue, and some think it's a different colour like indigo.
* '''Averted''': Alice's hair colour is clear.
* '''Enforced''': "This black clashes with the rest of the cartoon, let's make her hair dark blue, the audience will never be able to tell the difference."
* '''Lampshaded''': "Is it just me or does my hair look almost blue?"
* '''Invoked''': Bob is cryptic about what colour Alice's hair is meant to be.
* '''Exploited''':
* '''Defied''': "My hair is blue!"
* '''Discussed''': "I used to live next door to this woman. Her hair was black I think, but if you looked at her the right way, it looked almost navy blue."
* '''Conversed''': "Why does everyone say Alice's hair is black? It's clearly dark blue!"
