Talk:Rangiku Matsumoto

Strawberry Blonde or Ginger
I'd say her hair is just ginger orange since it's a faded orange color, not a blonde color with light orange tones. Difference?

Firstly, both these women artificially dye their hair, especially nicole kidman who has spent a lot of time in those pics as an unatural blode while her natural strawberry blond looks more like Rangiku's!! Look at the difference between Rangiku and Orihime, their shades are definitely not the same and Lily Cole's is way redder naturally than rangiku's but again she also has her hair tinited profesttionally SunXia (talk) 22:22, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

And ginger's not really supposed to be a term used for hair colour, it's usually, red/auburn/strawberry blond etc etc SunXia (talk) 22:25, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

Ginger is most certainly a term for hair color. Ginger sounds a lot more appropriate for natural redhead colorations than redhead does considering redheads don't actually have red hair unless it's dyed. In fact, auburn is more red than any real redhead hair I've encountered.

And anyway the point is she doesn't have blonde hair, her hair never shows up as a blonde tone, and strawberry blondes don't have just light or dull orange hair colors, they have blonde hair with slight orange tones. There's an obvious difference and as her hair never looks blonde she's not a strawberry blonde. Tomboy Daisy (talk) 22:31, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Mabashi I just remembered Mabashi has strawberry blonde hair. In reality Orihime has orange hair, Ichigo has light orange hair, Rangiku has ginger orange hair, and Mabashi has strawberry blonde hair to give you perspective.

Red-head is the correct term in the way that blond is the correct term for anything lighter than brown until it hits white!! MY doctors call my brother red-head, ginger is a general term used in a slang and derogatory manner!! When i look at colours on a hair dye scale, they are shades of red, since orange is a shade of red, but a light shade that has had yellow mixed into it!! SunXia (talk) 23:11, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_hair_color here have a look SunXia (talk) 23:12, July 25, 2010 (UTC)

There is no definitive correct term for a human's hair color as long as you are using real colors to describe it. Ginger is not necessarily a derogatory term just like many slang terms. And you're just straying away from the point now. I just showed you another Bleach character who actually is a strawberry blonde and you didn't even acknowledge it.

OK, give me an example that Ginger is used as a correct term, by correct terminology other than, "Hey look at that Ginger" or "He/She's Ginger" or "That dude next to the Ginger" in a social setting!! This is a matter of perspective and obviously people have agreed that Strawberry Blond is the correct term to be used in regards to Rangiku's hair!! Ginger is a term used for anyone with any shade or hint of red in their hair!! So by that every red head should be labelled ginger, including mabashi, who has a a lighter shade of red!! Strawberry blond, in my perspective, as an Irish person who sees "ginger" people every day is still a hair colour described as ginger in a social and derogatory setting so in that regards, if Rangiku becomes ginger then so should ichigo, Orihime and mabashi!!

I was actually about to post the same thing. Not with this image in particular but there were a lot of other manga colorations that predate this one that depicted her hair as this this color. -- DragonBlade302 (talk) 09:35, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for clearing that one up!! I was just going by the colour in the Anime and how it depends on perspective and how you look at it, knew it definitely wasn't ginger which is still not a colour!! Wonder why it is so much redder in Anime or maybe it is the animators trying to make it appear more golden-ish than usual blond, the way blue eyes white dragon looks...blue in the Anime of Yu-Gi-Oh, kinda like that hmmm!!
