Often [[{{Foil}} contrasted with]] a dark-haired heroine -- as the Betty in a BettyAndVeronica, the GirlNextDoor compared to the FemmeFatale, the DamselInDistress rather than TheVamp, the CountryMouse instead of the CityMouse -- or just lacking the brunette's JadeColoredGlasses. A [[FieryRedhead redhead]] may also [[{{Foil}} contrast]] and [[HeroesWantRedHeads serve as a rival]], though she will likely be more {{action|Girl}}-oriented than the blonde. She tends to be the younger of the pair; this is even more likely to be true for the male version.

Gray Eyes is now a disambig per the appearance trope thread and is being dewicked.


Women with Hair of Gold are also prone to InnocentBlueEyes or GrayEyes (though this is less common in more recent times). This contains a certain amount of TruthInTelevision, but it is exaggerated in fiction. They also tend to have voices in the soprano range.

The trope generally presumes blond is the natural color, since the correlation with youth no longer holds once dye is used. Indeed, this may drive this trope's interchange with BlondesAreEvil, a deeply CyclicTrope.

Added DiffLines:

This is a prevalent trope wherever blond hair occurs naturally in the population. (Where it does not, the color may signify foreignness.) Since hair tends to darken with age, blondness does correlate with youth and [[ChildrenAreInnocent the innocence correlated with that]]. Fiction runs with this so that the women are ColourCodedForYourConvenience.

Often [[{{Foil}} contrasted with]] a dark-haired heroine -- as the Betty in a BettyAndVeronica, the GirlNextDoor compared to the FemmeFatale, the DamselInDistress rather than TheVamp, the CountryMouse instead of the CityMouse -- or just lacking the brunette's JadeColoredGlasses. A [[FieryRedhead redhead]] may also [[{{Foil}} contrast]] and [[HeroesWantRedHeads serve as a rival]], though she will likely be more {{action|Girl}}-oriented than the blonde. She tends to be the younger of the pair; this is even more likely to be true for the male version.

The blonde's youth may also make her more naive than her counterpart, which can, but does not have to, slide into the DumbBlonde. On the other hand, she may regard studying and doing well in school as part of her responsibilities and so perform better than her dark-haired and irresponsible {{Foil}}.

When blondes are natural, blondness does correlate with youth and so is attractive. Women, therefore, dye their hair blond. But after a critical mass of blondes have dyed hair, it no longer correlates with youth. And it certainly doesn't correlate with innocence; the honest brunette who does not dye her hair, perhaps because she is not scheming to get a man, appears more innocent. Therefore, blond hair dye falls out of fashion and then blondes are once again mostly natural blondes and so the correlation recurs -- restarting the cycle.

The trope generally presumes blond is the natural color, since the correlation with youth no longer holds once dye is used. Indeed, this may drive this trope's interchange with BlondesAreEvil, a deeply CyclicTrope.

When the cycle is on Hair of Gold, lack of blond hair may convince a woman or girl that she is not beautiful -- leading to BeautifulAllAlong.

Women with Hair of Gold are also prone to InnocentBlueEyes or GrayEyes (though this is less common in more recent times). This contains a certain amount of TruthInTelevision, but it is exaggerated in fiction. They also tend to have voices in the soprano range.
