However, with people that I've already drawn in color before, I generally don't go back and check, so sometimes I end up using different colors than I did before. (laughs) In the anime, its probably also for shading, since Vegeta's jet. Vegeta's hair colour has been the subject of much discussion among fans of the Dragon Ball franchise.
While his hair is unquestionably black in the manga and most anime adaptations, there are some instances where it appears to be a very dark brown, almost black, colour. 4 5 Ya Boi King Kai 2/24/2021 Yep. Vegeta has very very VERY dark hair that can be easily mistaken for black, but he has been shown at many times to have brown hair.
In his SSJ4 form, his hair becomes a lighter brown, making it easier to see. Vegito gained his brown hair from Vegeta, while Gogeta get's Goku's black hair. Normal "black" hair is actually very dark brown.
In certain lighting it will look a bit more brown than usual, same goes for Vegeta's hair (and Vegito by extension). The Enigma of Vegeta's Hair Color: Debunking Common Myths Vegeta's distinct hair color has long been a topic of fascination and confusion among Dragon Ball fans. The statement that 'all Saiyans have black hair' has consistently been one of the fundamental principles in the Dragon Ball universe.
However, in the face of Vegeta's noticeably brown hair, a raised question arises. Why does the. However, in the anime, Saiyans can have brown, dark blue, or black hair.
Vegeta's hair was originally a reddish-brown, and it was later coloured black. Some fans chalk up the difference in hair colour to the lighting of the planet Vegeta was on, or the atmosphere of the planet affecting his hair colour. 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. These days, Vegeta's look is instantly recognizable. With his black hair, blue suit, and white and gold armor, his look is iconic.
However, in the anime's early days, Vegeta's color scheme was almost completely different, having light brown hair, a dark blue suit with a green and orange set of armor. The original cels of Vegeta have him painted with brown hair, so Kai kept that coloring. Other later editions have digital color correction of various things.
(Including blood removal, etc.) But the original artwork that still exists (you can buy old animation cels, Dragonball ones are super expensive) and you can see the original flaws there. Re: Vegeta's brown hair, Kai and Z by Fox666 Sat Jun 25, 2011 12:44 am Apparently not all saiyans have the exact hair color in the anime. Vegeta is brownish comparable to Goku.
However it's not so noticeable because of the quality of the old anime image.
