I know there are often pragmatic reasons for this but I kind of feel like modern animation/sequential art has verifiably demonstrated that in fact the standard biological range of human hair colors actually sucks and very saturated colors are strictly aesthetically superior

You know this is literally the argument racists make for why white people with blonde hair and blue or green eyes are naturally more beautiful than anyone else though

I actually did think about that but I don't agree that white people are more saturated in a photoshop sense, they're just a lighter shade, actual blondes are strictly inferior to people with hair the color of lemons

It's fair to say that redheads are more saturated than non-redheads (pheomelanin is distinguished from eumelanin by being brighter)

Thomas Jefferson's famous racist passage from Notes on the State of Virginia says that white people are more beautiful specifically because they're *redder* (the skin being paler means you can see more of their blood)

According to him it's because it makes it easier to see people's emotional reactions, like you can more easily tell when someone turns pale from fear or blushes from embarrassment or gets flushed from passion or anger

pretty fucked up vein of discourse from him in light of him being, y'know, Tom Jefferson

Sally Hemings, btw, was very light-skinned (people said she could pass for white fairly easily) because her biological father was most likely Thomas Jefferson's father-in-law Everyone said she was the spitting image of his deceased wife Martha
