King Vegeta's hair colour has been the subject of some debate among fans of the Dragon Ball franchise. While it is generally accepted that pure Saiyans have black hair, King Vegeta is usually depicted with brown hair, with some artworks also portraying his hair as black with grey lighting. This inconsistency in hair colour can be attributed to early anime production decisions, as the animators.
So to answer your question: why is [King] Vegeta's hair brown/red? Unlike Vegeta's original color scheme, the King's was never corrected. The anime has always been inconsistent with colors. Vegeta was shown with red highlights and brown hair many times.

Re: What color is Vegeta's hair? by BlueBasilisk Sat Jul 22, 2017 6:19 am I've always seen Vegito's hair drawn with brown highlights, which he certainly didn't get from Goku. I'd assume Vegeta's hair is supposed to be dark brown based on that and on King Vegeta having brown hair in BoG.
Even though in that same scene Vegeta's hair is shaded. Special Interest Anime Dragon Ball What color is SSJ4 Vegeta's hair? Bulma had purple hair in the manga (hence why Trunks had purple hair).
But, the anime had her hair that teal/blue color, but in DBZ they kept Trunks color purple, but then in Super changed it to blue to fit the anime's blue Bulma. Even weirder, kid Trunks still has purple hair in Super. They should have just kept Trunks hair purple to begin with.
The manga's black hair is a clear, consistent decision by Toriyama, while the anime's color palette may have been influenced by animation styles or the desire to make Vegeta stand out visually. Additionally, the anime's use of shading and lighting can sometimes make his hair appear darker or lighter, further complicating the color debate. King Vegeta has been illustrated with both brown and black hair, although brown is the more popular design for his character.
King Vegeta has black hair in a flashback that's shown during the Androids Saga and Dragon Ball Z 's eighth feature film, Broly. The problem is FighterZ where Vegeta and I quote, "Real Saiyans have black hair " They clearly show Vegeta having brown hair yet he sees himself with black hair. Brown hair Vegeta does look kinda cool, though.
I almost wish all Saiyans had slight color variation like that, it'd be more natural/realistic.
