  I find it fascinating how white hair is both a symbol of purity, and a symbol of corruption.

  Fun fact: Frozen producers officialy confirmed that yes, Elsa's platinum hair IS a byproduct of her ice powers. If she didn't have magic she'd be a brunette like her mother.

  White hair has always been one of my favorite hair colors used for character. It usually gives them the feeling of an otherworldly or mystical theme.

  Can't believe there's no mention of Geralt of Rivia, or albinism. 😅

  Griffith could also be a good example of an evil character with white hair

  Not mentioning Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul is criminal.

  TLDR, white hair make character seem special.

  A thought. An angle you may have missed or clipped for time concerns. In art pigments white is the abscence of color, while black is all of them blended. But in physics it is black that lacks pigment, while white is all colors of light combined.

  As a Scandinavian, from the land of Arendelle,<br>I can say that many blondes get darker in their hair as they get older.<br>And many lose their blonde color before they are thirty.<br>So since many love theirs, they bleach it blonde to keep the youthful color.<br>But I went to class with someone who had chalk white hair, when we were little.<br>I don&apos;t know what spilt milk looks like in other countries, but that was her hair color in first grade.<br>It was so white that you could have taken her for an albino, if it hadn&apos;t been for her skin color and both eyes.<br>And the last time I met her now that we are adults, she has more of Elsa&apos;s hair color.<br>And I mean the white-blond loose-haired Elsa from Frozen 2.<br>She is guaranteed to be the only real blonde left from our class.
