Is Elise Deauxnim's hair actually black or brown? She is shown with both black and brown hair. (Depending on where you see her)



I have always wondered why they didn't just decide on one color when they put her into the game. This is definitely the one of the most confusing things that I have encountered in an Ace Attorney game.

EDIT:
I thought of another one. Why did Frank Sahwit's toupee turn black when it hit Phoenix?

Have fun with this one: Ema Skye's eye color. In game, it's ALWAYS the same color as her shirt.

If you look at Edgeworth and his father, you'll see that they have gray/silver hair in-game, but some official art shows them with brown hair, too. Now, I only recently was told this by somebody who is studying art in college and she explained it to me like this.

Artistically, you never use the colors black, gray or white. Black and gray are very bleak colors, so putting highlights into it makes the color look very boring at that point. White leaves the paper, which is white itself, blank and makes it seem empty.
Which is why, when somebody has black hair, the highlights are often done in other colors - sometimes green, but very often blue or maybe even purple. It looks more dynamic. Gray fits for older people, but even then, the shadows and/or highlights are done with a slight color in them - again, like a very pale blue. And white haired characters often end up with platinum blond hair or the blond color used to indicate shadows.







In short, it's an artistic thing to do.

More like the power of different colored contacts.

(That's all I can think of. I dunno.)

As for Misty's hair...perhaps it's a really dark brown? That would explain why it looks black in game (you don't mean Misty anywhere but inside a temple, where there probably isn't much light since it only uses candles), but Larry's original drawing has it being brown (the picture was drawn outside). He probably based his drawing at the end of the game off of his original, explaining why the hair color is brown again.

And the official artwork...meh...those aren't really canon, so...

Also, what color is Franziska's hair? In some art it appears a silvery color, in other art it appears blueish, and in some other art it appears green.

Askaceattorney says Franzy's hair is platinum, and that site probably knows AA canon better than the author himself (despite not knowing GK2), so I say it's platinum.

Given Maya, Mia, and Morgan, I'm guessing Misty's hair is black.

I'll gladly point out to my previous post a bit higher on the page.
It's an artistic thing. Perhaps her hair is a very light color, almost white, but shadows are done in blue or green.
