White ears and tail, green hair, anyone? How about blonde hair, but black ears and tail? Yes, it could simply be them dressing up in a fetish "outfit", that I don't mind; but when they biologically have the parts, and the hair color is mismatched (How the hell would they end up with two radically different hair-colors, in different places? Presumably they were born with the parts, hair should have grown in (Relatively.) the same color, all around.
If they're sticking parts of one animal onto parts of another, why not keep them in their original colours?
Partly because I don't really believe that, partly because it looks really good when they do it "properly" (Subjective premise, after all.), and partly because half of the time they do it one way, and half the time they do it the other.
Simple, personal opinion.
As well as the whole part I (Think I did, anyway...) elaborated on, where if they biologically are part X animal, especially if they were
born part X animal, wouldn't they either A: Grow with X animal's trademarked fur color/pattern everywhere else, or B: Grow
their hair color over the parts from X animal? Again, this is all subjective, Wild Mass Guessing, on my part.
Also, some ways it's appropriate for them to have whatever two-tone hair color they want, and I won't give a shit; and other times it just looks out of place.
Example for A: Kitsune possessing someone. Wouldn't look out of place if all of a sudden they sprout fox ears and tail(s), even if they normally had just brown/blonde/purple/what-have-you colored hair. After all, it's the demon/spirit possessing them, that has those bits, not them themselves.
Another example for A: Some random person that's wearing cat ears and tail (Note the "wearing" part, as in, they don't have said ears and tail, they just enjoy dressing up that way.), that, I couldn't care less about.
But, an example for B: They are part of a race that is an offshoot from Humans. They have slimmer, lighter builds, slightly shorter average height, cat's ears, cat's eyes (Including the nifty de-saturated, black 'n' white natural night vision (Screw those damned green overlays!).), they
lack Human ears, and they're born this way. It would seem out of place if they didn't have their normal hair the color of everything else, or the other way around.
Just to stay on topic: In spy movies, where putting a silencer on a big gun, automatically makes it cause less noise when it fires than a kitten dropping onto a fluffy pillow. Even if said gun doesn't have available, or obviously isn't equipped with subsonic ammunition.
