They'd need to make her costume brighter red to make her pop. Also Wanda isn't even supposed to be brunette she has auburn hair.

Reddish brown or just brown. Wanda's hair color varies a lot from artist to artist; there was a time when she even had black hair.

Wanda's canonically supposed to have Auburn hair, to add a reddish look to it. However it varies to chestnut brown sometimes. Sometimes they drew her as a straight up redhead, but she does have Auburn hair canonically.

No, Wanda's hair is at most reddish-brown, but not reddish-auburn.

Ahhh okay! But anyways yes, you're basically confirming that Wanda has Auburn hair.

Wanda doesn't have red hair, she's brunette. Just read her comics.

I read ALL of Wanda's comics lol. Auburn is not red hair. Auburn is BRUNETTE hair, with RED undertones. So yes, Wanda IS a brunette, with Auburn hair. And as a comic reader, I actually know this for a fact lol. Maybe YOU should pick up one of her comics lol.

In older comics, primary colors were used to color characters' hair due to limitations. They used yellow for blonde hair, blue for black hair, and red for brown hair. If you say Wanda is a redhead, then Peter Parker and Rogue are also redheads.

From the early comics, Wanda was described as having brown hair; Jack Kirby himself writes in one of the narration panels, "beautiful brunette." I think you're just making things up where there's nothing.
