Do those anime-style hair colors matter to you in a video game or do you think you wouldn't enjoy video games as much as you currently do if games only had natural real-life hair colors like black and blond?
 
I don’t often utilize unnatural hair colors for my characters, but it’s cool to have that option if the mood strikes me.

Very, it’s not an anime game I’d everyone doesn’t have crazy hair colors, and a young kid has gray hair.

As someone who really *really* wants blue hair irl, I love having my game characters have blue hair, bonus points for if I can have multiple colours at once as well. "anime colours" isn't really the point, it's more just about choice. It's not hard at all to add additional colours when you already have the "natural" colours, so why not just give players that additional choice? Those players that don't want those colours don't have to use them, but those who do can.

White hair always confused me in games. I'm going to assume it's unnatural and it was dyed that way but I really don't care in the end. I like multiple colors as a customizable option but I like to stick to normal colors for my avi/Mii.

No, I'd rather have preset character designs so I don't overwhelm myself with options. But if other people like it, then that's fine too!

I kinda don't care really. I feel you should just add both wacky and natural colors just to make both kids and adults happy. I like colorful hairstyles in splatoon 2 but in stuff with customization I keep things real depending on my mood lol.

Not really. Whether or not their hair colours span the full spectrum of the rainbow or not is of little concern to me, seems like quite a pedantic thing to worry about. But if I'm given the choice, I do like to give myself pink or purple hair when creating my own characters in games.
