[Poll #1187121]
I'm interested in to see what your guys opinion is because the way I look at it, Lulu's hair is black and nothing more but some morons on cosplay.com thinks it's dark brown: http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=147188 .The nice easy way for me to remember it is that Lulu is black, Suzaku's hair is brown. Simple, ne? What's your opinion?

How the hell it's dark brown? D:
I'm 100% sure it's black, and sometimes there's a glint of purplish black/grey for the light of Lelouch's hair

His hair colour though is definitely black. No shades of brown in that.

But I've been thinking black too long, and there must have been a reason for me to not have viewed it differently even a year and a half later so I find it difficult to budge from it.

But then I had a look at some pictures and screencaps. It's actually dark brown. Like really dark brown with a greyish hint. (Note: I checked the pictures in GRAPHICS: ASHFORD and GRAPHICS:ZERO, so it has got nothing to do with my monitor.)
It looks like black, yes, especially comparing to Suzaku's hair, but compaired to his school unfirom (which is black and no one would argue about that I believe) it's rather brown.
But then again, on some Artwork it's even slightly purple.
I don't really think it matters, actually. As for wigs, I'd go for a black one.

So, it's really of opinion which level colour of the hair you want to look at to get a main colour. In the end though, I would vote on black. If you want to look at it realistically, I've never seen someone with naturally black hair like how you would get in a dye that's shiney and, in my persona opinion, kind of gross. If Lelouch was real, which he isn't (woe D8), he would probably have dark dark brown hair but...bah, I'd say black.
That's just what I think the problem is. I don't think being colour blind in one eye will make you think the hair is brown rather than black. Or maybe that's just me.

From what I can see in the picture in the thread (http://endofdreams.files.wordpress.com/2006/12/lelouch.jpg), it's a rather 'light black', with a brown undertone, at least from my view and compared to the chess piece which looks veeery black. (The school uniform seems to have a blue-ish green undertone, imo XD)
So I can kinda see where they are coming from, but it's black , for sure.

And figurines of Lulu have black hair. =)
Dark brown? What? Is it a joke? XD(no subject)
As for the colored shadows, most of the time, they're just shadows :D The only time I've felt the need to include shadows was for Nia (http://www.cosplay.com/costume/117964/) (from Gurren Lagann) because the style of the anime was such that the shadows left as strong of an impression as the actual hair color.

Black.
Okay, granted, there is no such thing as "black" hair. (I'm Asian, and although my hair is "black", it's actually a really, really dark brown, and you can sorta see the brownish red undertones when I'm standing under a bright sun.)
In that case, you can say that Lelouch has really, really dark purple hair. But for all intents and purposes, it's black.
Purple's not a real hair color, you say? Well, neither is green or pink or fuchsia.

It's very common to see newtype, ashford graphic, and any other illustrations carrying tint of brown, grey or purple because those are supposedly 'highlights' to give hair volume in 2D perspectives.
So plain-minded-ly, LELOUCH HAS BEAUTIFUL BLACK HAIR.
It's often better not to crack nuts just to argue about his hair colour.
Also thought it this way, if Suzaku has brown hair, why would they want Lelouch in some half-assed brown, dark brown, blah brown?
Come on, he is the 'dark prince' give him his smexy black locks XD

And, yes, like most Lelouch cosplays, I also use black for mine (http://lunarloopcosplay.deviantart.com/art/CG-Lelouch-82121109).

And as for the question of why brown in some art? Well I digital colour as well so I know that to even dare and colour anime hair as pure black in certain styles of pictures just makes the hair look flat so then artists op for different colours like dark brown or dark purple and then add in black highlights. In other words, they are just adding shape to his hair and it is really black.

I agree with the others that the purplish/brown tones only give shape to Lulu's hair, or else it would really be flat.
besides, a black-haired Lulu looks better for me xD
srsly, cosplay.com peoplez are too anal about the hair color >_> I bet if it was a CC cosplay, they won't mind if it's shocking neon green or yellow-green as long as its a light green >_>

So yeah! One of those Dark Brown votes is actually one for Black.
And honestly, WTF, I don't comprehend why there's arguing. I mean I could maybe see the dark purple argument but dark brown . I mean I can understand I guess but I too looked at official pictures and it's very black.
