Why Is Vegeta A Different Color
The anime adapts the manga which is black and white so the anime staff didn't know what color Vegeta was supposed to be. They just went with a random color scheme until Toriyama (writer of the manga) clarified what color he was intended to be. Toei Animation's recent Vegeta anniversary post reminds old school Dragon Ball Z fans that the iconic Saiyan prince once had a much different look.
Why Was Vegeta's Hair Red? When Dragon ball Z first aired, Vegeta and Nappa looked very different than how they do now. They had different colors for their armors and even Vegeta's hair.

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. Vegeta's iconic black hair transformation has left fans wondering: when and why did it happen? Uncover the reasons behind this mysterious change and explore the character's evolution. During his early cameo, debut, and filler appearances in the Dragon Ball Z anime, Vegeta originally appeared with a totally different color scheme from his usual one, where he was shown with red hair and was wearing an outfit that composed of a battle armor that was khaki green with burnt orange guard pieces (the shoulder and skirt guards.
