#mari and eli are meant to be natural blondes which is unlikely but not ridiculous

Just thinking about how most of the idols in the Love Live franchise don't really have anime hair colors. Sure, Umi and Kanan have blue hair, and Nozomi purple, but that's a common stylistic dodge for particular shades of what the West would view as black. A number of the girls probably lighten their hair, but to within human norms; even Lanzhu's hair is probably meant to be a light strawberry blonde.

And then there's Rina with her bubblegum pink hair.
