Sadly I saw some one in game recently with pink hair...on an elf.....or was it purple? still both strange and ridiculous too I personally thought.

Purple hair, yup.
Dunno, odd hair colors do seem to look better in real life. I was playing around with them on NwN SP, and they tend to look more like, well, a block of clay or something for hair.

*sigh*
Sad day.

Naturtint product guide

All made from vegetable dyes.  Interia might check out "light mahagony chestnut" which, if I'm not mistaken, has a purple sheen in the light.

There!  Purple hair for Layo!

I have no doubt hair dye is possible with Layo level technology, but would someone in Layo think to dye their hair a non-natural color? I mean, sure someone had to think of it first, but colored hair surely doesn't have the same social meaning in Layo that it does in our world. Maybe a barbarian dying their hair red in a ritualistic representation of blood or something like that. I can just see peasants running in fear or grabbing pitchforks to combat the obviously demon-possessed creature with fearsome pink hair.

*grins*  Ever tried using clothing dye on hair?  You tend to lose it. ;)

So that's what happened to Storold's hair. He tried to dye it blue!

If you can make a potion of speed and oils that make an axe look like it's on fire, hair dye seems like a very simple task in comparison.  If only we could rub weaponfire oil on Hrothgar's bald head and painted his face like a skull, he'd look like Ghostrider!

for those that remember, sakura had pink hair back in the day.

I didnt think it looked that bad, that or i just have no taste which could be true too.

Oi, speakingof dye..I need to run to the store for more pink...my hair is fading out! :( Yay for cupcake pink! :D

Oh..and erk had the dark blue hair, but that was because I was trying for the black with blue highlights sortof..but it still looked alright on the dwarf. Hehe...I almost made him a really smurfy when I created him...his love of alchemy got him into trouble once...;)

      My character, Treana Min E'zoenna, is a Human with aquamarine colored hair, she also has slightly pointy ears like an Elf.  I RP her unique appearance as a genetic anomally resulting from far distant cross-breeding somewhere way back in her lineage.  However, she was approved about a year ago when rules regarding hair-color for characters weren't as strict as they are these days.  I came over to Layonara at a time when the ad for it still touted characters could even be from other worlds originally, and thus some aspects of character creation were more open for such unique characteristics.

      On the other hand, while Treana is unique in appearance, I'm glad the shift was made for more emphasis on 'natural' looking characters to some degree, as it does help preserve the 'world' of Layonara's integrity.  Indeed, my characters since then have all fit with the world of Layonara much better, and as a result have been more enjoyable to play.  Sometimes it's a good thing to be forced to consider other options than our normal choices.  ;)
