What color hair did Romeo and Juliet have?

Answer 1

Romeo and Juliet are characters in a play. They look like whichever actor and actress plays them. They have whatever hair colour the actors have unless the director tells them to dye their hair or wear a wig. Shakespeare did not stipulate what colour their hair was.

If Aishwarya Rai played Juliet, she would have black hair. If Marilyn Monroe played her she would be blonde.

Answer 2

Well, honey, Romeo was described as having "untangled" black hair, and Juliet was said to have "raven" hair. So, in simpler terms, Romeo had black hair and Juliet had dark hair. Hope that clears up any confusion, darling.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, Romeo had brown hair and Juliet had black hair. Like, they were totally rockin' those classic hair colors back in the day. I mean, imagine if Romeo had neon green hair and Juliet had hot pink locks – that would've been a whole different kind of tragedy!

Answer 4

In William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Romeo is described as having "a head of hair exceeding bright," suggesting that he likely had blond or light-colored hair. Juliet's hair color is not explicitly stated in the play, but she is often depicted with dark hair, possibly to contrast with Romeo's light hair. Ultimately, hair color is open to interpretation and can vary depending on the production or adaptation of the play.

Answer 5

Ah, what a lovely question! Romeo is often described as having dark hair, while Juliet is often depicted with fair hair. But you know, in the world of art and imagination, their hair can be any color you'd like it to be. Feel free to paint them with the most beautiful and vibrant colors that speak to your heart.

Answer 6

Our sources of information on this question are few. The best known and authenticated representations of Shakespeare are the Droushout engraving, which is in black and white, and his memorial statue which some joker had whitewashed in the eighteenth century. The monument has since been repainted, and samples were taken of the original colours. After these two the best authenticated representation is the Chandos portrait.

Both the Chandos and the Monument show Shakespeare with black hair. From this it should be concluded that Shakespeare's hair was very dark, probably black.

In no representation, even the forgeries or unauthenticated pictures, is Shakespeare shown to be blonde.

Answer 7

The answer has to be based on contemporary images of Shakespeare and the problem is that the two absolutely certain images are the Droushout engraving which is black-at-white and the funeral monument, which has been repainted a number of times. The next most likely image is the Chandos portrait in which Shakespeare is shown as having very dark and curly hair. The funeral monument also shows him with dark hair for what that's worth.

A couple of recent contenders for portraits of Shakespeare show a man with lighter hair. The Sanders portrait shows him with a dark auburn hair. The Cobb picture shows a man with a light fawn-coloured head of hair and no sign of male-pattern baldness. But then the provenance of the Cobb picture is extremely dubious and I would caution against using it for any purpose.

Answer 8

Romeo and Juliet are characters in a play by William Shakespeare. They were not real people. It is not important to the story what colour their hair is, so Shakespeare did not tell us. Therefore the colour of their hair is whatever colour hair the actor or actress playing them happens to have.

Answer 9

The best-authenticated portrait of William Shakespeare, the Chandos portrait, shows him with dark brown or black hair. Maybe that's what Greene meant when he called him a "crow".
