Why does the name apply to people with seemingly orange hair? Am I missing something major about how scientists name the pigment in our hair?

The pigment is red. You see paler shades because of translucency.

Rangas is from Orangutan

try publicly refering to the American leader as a monkey/ape/etc and you'll get shot or worshipped depending on the politics of the reader.

& yes, Blood Nuts refers to what you are thinking

The difference between devil spawn and hotness is probably a gray area.

It's the opposite colour of red.* It creates a contrast which is aesthetically pleasing.


*in the substractive colour system

An Australian breed of cattle/sheep dog is called the blue heeler, except they are not blue in colour, closer to red. A person with red hair is often called bluey...... If you say you got in a blue, means you got in a fight. So blue is associated with both red hair/fur and fighting. Temper temper.
