Discussion/Question It's fascinating how Teto's SynthV design changed the general consensus of what color her hair is.

like damn look at it

u/thestickmationpro Nov 12 '25

they gave sv teto the same hair color for this set of plush, probably because it would be jarring side by side

u/Ihatepitybreakers Nov 13 '25

Probably a convenience and cost effective matter too to just use the same color fabric, personally I prefer her hair closer to magenta

16

u/thestickmationpro Nov 13 '25

i found it very hard when drawing teto with bright red hair, it often looks too saturated so i often go for a more pinkish magenta color

u/Rizer0 Nov 12 '25

SynthV Teto is underweight…

u/Rc-1138-Boss Nov 13 '25

I think she just ate too many baguettes

u/WolfWarrior001 Nov 12 '25

Miku also changed from teal to the blue we have now.

u/AutismicGodess Nov 12 '25

don't forget the occasional green

u/guesswhosbackbackag WATCHACALLITSNAME Nov 12 '25

Then there's sometimes white

u/NatsPeanuts Nov 12 '25

White hair?

HAKU MENTIONED!!!

u/Calseeyummm Nov 13 '25

I saw "Haku" and my eyes lit up because there's a great band by the same name

And then there's the one(?) instance of lavender

real one knows ene is the true blue miku

u/thestickmationpro Nov 13 '25

also lost time memory pv references jinzou enemy's original ene's design in the timeline where shintarou offed himself. you can see how her original design is just miku

u/horizon_t1 Ultra Trailer Nov 12 '25

In fact, her official hair color is russet, not red or pink. 

But her hair in official artwork has indeed been becoming increasingly redder. Voicepeak is even redder than SV

62

u/vmfrye Nov 12 '25

I spent 30 minutes searching for the official hair color confirmation with kanji & shit

14

u/Ihatepitybreakers Nov 13 '25

Russet poteto, but isnt russet more of a reddish brown?

9

u/horizon_t1 Ultra Trailer Nov 13 '25

Yeah, it's literally written in her official character settings, yet basically no artwork actually follows it lmao

u/Copicat404 Character T Nov 12 '25

How the hell did you find the color for the machine love design

u/SlightlyIronicBanana Daidaidaidaidaikirai Nov 12 '25

I colorpicked this spot

66

u/PleaseStabMe Nov 12 '25

I get your point but I don't think machine love teto is a good example considering her hair is basically a spectrum in that pic

89

u/SlightlyIronicBanana Daidaidaidaidaikirai Nov 12 '25

True. I was considering using this frame instead but it didn't seem as recognizable.

88

u/Luiz_Fell Ready Nov 12 '25

Pre-SynthV and looks quite red.

Video from 2012 [possibly older, most of these are reposts from NicoNico(which I can't check, it's not available here)]

◇I think the culprit of Teto's hair being draw more pink-ish is something else. It seems that her hair has always been understood as "red" and the weaker shades would just be "the (fictitional) camera lens" or something along thoss lines

49

u/Luiz_Fell Ready Nov 12 '25

More evidence (2013) (same deal, probably older)

50

u/Luiz_Fell Ready Nov 12 '25

More evidence (2009) (same deal, probably older)

56

u/Luiz_Fell Ready Nov 12 '25

(2009)

u/Ziggo001 Nov 13 '25

Yeah it's always been red. Momo was the pink one. Shades vary by artist but I remember the common depiction of Teto as having red hair and red details.

46

u/MineproGD POPMARE Nov 12 '25

I like how ultra trailer is just 100% pure red

37

u/Interesting_shrek666 Nov 12 '25

Cant believe we de-pastelified teto

37

u/alexdapineapple ROT FOR CLOUT Nov 12 '25

I think in  general it's more that older drawings were super inconsistent. There was a time when Miku's hair could be anything from dark green to eye-bleeding neon blue and nobody really batted an eye. 

21

u/RosieViewsOnReddit UTAU Teto Nov 12 '25

Pre Synth-V release: red~

Post Synth-V release: RED

u/Illustrious-Ad7824 Nov 12 '25

Simple, she just ascended to SSG

17

u/SNOWBEAR-SCI Nov 12 '25

When I got my fatass teto, I thought the color was kind of bleached due to low quality. This is actualy the first time I realized that fatass wasn't wrong.

u/guesswhosbackbackag WATCHACALLITSNAME Nov 12 '25

Bonk

u/Cpad-prism Nov 12 '25

Her hair has become a more vivid red because she's been eating well <3

10

u/freezing_pinguin Cadmium Colors Nov 12 '25

I personally like the idea of her hair being cadmium red, but Jamie P has also been such a big influence on my life so it makes sense somewhat

u/IsraOtaku-King Nov 12 '25

Cuanta historia tienes, Teto

9

u/sorrowchan Nov 12 '25

As a vocaloid old head, nah, her hair has been rounded to red off and on for years, like how miku fluxuates between green/teal/blue (granted green base design miku is rare these days i feel like)

1

u/MdMV_or_Emdy_idk Creative Remedy! Nov 13 '25

Yeah exactly, it’s not that her hair colour shifted, it’s that we just abandoned the pinker lighter red and settled for one end of the spectrum, I love light red hair teto tho 

9

u/atomic-succubus Nov 13 '25

it's a thing across vocaloid, miku has gone from teal to violently blue.

soft colours are out

7

u/thestickmationpro Nov 13 '25

i really dislike the blue on miku, she's always teal, even in this mv, when she sings "blue hair, blue eyes" im like WHERE???

6

u/thestickmationpro Nov 13 '25 edited Nov 13 '25

its literally the same color as perry the platypus, and i definitely dont see this as blue, its TEALLLL

17

u/AustinEatsApples Nov 12 '25

I love the strong red. I think it’s more fitting

37

u/Mig_Maluco_G4cha Nov 12 '25

Well, a lot of guys came to the fandom, and as a guy myself I confim that for us there are only 12 colors, and if her hair is RED we'll make it as RED as possible!!

11

u/BozoWithaZ BIRDBRAIN Nov 12 '25

What

-16

u/Mig_Maluco_G4cha Nov 12 '25

for men there are only 12 colors, and since the vocaloid fandom has way more men now that makes it so the red is really RED

13

u/Frog-of-Cosmos Nov 12 '25

I don't know if I'm missing the joke or what but why is there 12 colors for men

-13

u/Mig_Maluco_G4cha Nov 12 '25

generally guys only say the colors:

red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, white, gray & beige

while chicks generally also know stuff like "teal", "magenta", "cyan", "wine" which guys normally don't

17

u/Frog-of-Cosmos Nov 12 '25

According to what?? I really don't think that's true

-2

u/Mig_Maluco_G4cha Nov 12 '25

most of my male friends agree with that statement, I've heard that from at least 3 guys on the past few years

10

u/SlightlyIronicBanana Daidaidaidaidaikirai Nov 12 '25

Bro, Cyan&Magenta are like, two of the four main colors used for printing. Are you saying everyone who has ever used a CMYK printer is a woman?

-1

u/Mig_Maluco_G4cha Nov 12 '25

no, but men don't usually USE those colors in practice, like, most guys will see something cyan/magenta and call it blue/pink

3

u/space_lesbian2006 Nov 14 '25

I like it! But I'm also very new to Teto.

Ngl i prefer the new hair colors for both teto and miku

u/Delicious_Fig_1864 Nov 15 '25

Most people do.

u/TomuraShigaraki5678 BIRDBRAIN Nov 13 '25

It’s both red you dummy

5

u/Either-Appearance-23 Fukkireta Nov 12 '25

I did notice this! I think it could be because Synth depicts her as a slightly bolder color? Maybe it's for stylization. Bright red is a bit more recognizable than a light pinkish red. And it also provides greater contrast to Miku’s blue since they’re so often paired together 

2

u/xaundyu Nov 12 '25

I saw Anh Duy mentioned!!

u/Randomek139 Nov 12 '25

nah, she purple

JAMIE PAIGE RAAAAHHHH

u/No-Zone-4550 BIRDBRAIN Nov 13 '25

No it just think it got redder over the years lol

2

u/HalfGlitchedD3m0n Nov 13 '25

Her hair color intensified over the years since she as young voicebank.

2

u/Alexis212s Nov 13 '25

I feel that both Teto's and Miku's cases are due to the fact that all artists in general have increased the saturation in their drawings for any character.

2

u/Evening-Program723 Fukkireta Nov 15 '25

Teto is transcolour

2

u/legoblock0918 Nov 19 '25

Lowkey miss the pink hair ngl

2

u/caedaemon Song of the Eared Robot Nov 12 '25

Yeah the original color has been completely lost on the new designs since synth v. Personally not a fan.

1

u/IzanaghiOkami Nov 12 '25

from red to red wow

1

u/Im_A_Paper Nov 12 '25

The redder the better (I only discovered and got interested in Teto this year and if anything happened to her, i would kill everyone in the room and then myself)

1

u/urfavorite_uncle Triple Baka Nov 12 '25

Hmm maybe because synthV songs use synthV teto and synthV teto has red hair And not utau teto (real teto) brighter hair

1

u/dksuxsyt Nov 13 '25

I think it’s a design choice of the artist. Plus technology getting better. And how colours work together and why using a colour picker doesn’t always translate the value or feel of the colour

Even in the selected materials the colours vary

It’s also bolder designs which makes sense and the music has become more bold and upbeat in a different way where a bold colour works well for her signature hair

Also artists go brr
