Sailor Moon Original Hair Color
So I read that Takeuchi's favorite color is pink and she actually wanted Sailor moon to look like a pink rabbit. so her original designs were for her to have pink hair, matching the pink in her outfit. Why did Sailor Moon, the iconic guardian of love and justice, have blonde hair? Discover the meaning behind this unique hair color choice and its significance in the series.
For Sailor Moon, it's not a Mandela effect situation because the pink hue comes from film deterioration. A similar color issue happened with the anime Dragon Ball Z, a Japanese animated show. Blonde hair is a very bright, eye catching color which is why the creator of Sailor Moon, Naoko Takeuchi, decided to keep Sailor Moons hair yellow or blonde throughout the series.

Pretty Warrior Sailor Moon is the star of a manga created by Japanese artist Naoko Takeuchi, which was published from 1992 to 1997 along with a TV anime. The 14-year-old character, who is also known as Usagi Tsukino (or as Serena Tsukino in English-dubbed anime), has big round blue eyes, incredibly long blonde ponytails, an adorable maritime. As far as manga goes Usagi's hair is sometimes lighter than Minako but most times they have the same shade, while Haruka is almost light platinum blonde.The 90s anime varies in coloring, it is actually hella inconsistent with shades, yet alone art outside animation.
But overall Usagi's hair is darker than Minako, and Haruka is sand. According to Ms. Takeuchi herself, 1 while Usagi was meant to have blonde hair, it was supposed to turn silver when she transformed into Sailor Moon.

This image discrepancy actually made it into series canon to a certain extent, seeing that the cover image published in Sailor Moon 's Nakayoshi debut issue shows her with silver hair. Princess Serenity's hair was specifically made silver. By the time Toei made the original Sailor Moon anime many fans grew up with, both Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity were made blonde.
The Sailors's hair colors are determined by their powers ("Power Dyes Your Hair"). And since their Sailor selves are their eternal selves, their hairs keep their colors ("remain dyed") for the whole time. An online challenge to redraw Sailor Moon's heroine sparked a heated debate on the eternal question of why Japanese anime characters look white to them.
