Caroline's Off Comment about Abigail's Hair Color?

[Ham Sup Lou]

“Abigail lives at the general store with her parents. She sometimes fights with her mom, who worries about Abigail’s “alternative lifestyle”. Her mom has the following to say: “I wish Abby would dress more appropriately and stop dyeing her hair blue. She has such a wonderful natural hair color, just like her grandmother did.

But her mom's hair is green! How are either of those colors natural? Did her grandmother have equally green hair?

Yes Grandma Carogail had such a lovely natural green hair which was the pride of the family (on Caroline's side) and the fact that Abigail would cover that up with the unatural blue is quite alarming!!
(if she had dyed it purple it wouldn't be as worrisome but blue???)

As a person who is sporting blue hair in real life, I can state with certainty that parental attitudes towards hair color aren't always completely logical.

Does your mom have natural green hair as well?
If so what is the name of the town you live in? Does it have "star" in it's name somewhere?

Well I just remember that Twilight Zone episode where the pig people were the beautiful people and the normal humans were not.

So in Stardew Valley, green hair seems to be normal and accepted. Blue is just being rebellious!

It always seems odd to me that Caroline says that, because it's not consistent with what other characters say.

For example, Pierre expresses doubt that Abi is his daughter and cites her hair colour as proof. Why would he do that if it's dyed?

Also, the wizard's hair is the same colour as Abigails and he talks about a 'stupid mistake' he made that caused his ex-wife to leave him and turn green with envy, becoming the witch. That's the whole reason for the theory that Abigail is the wizards daughter...

She says it's dyed as an excuse, abigail's only met pierre once she was already an emo teen?

I'm really reaching here aren't I?

No to both questions, unfortunatley. I'd more to Stardew Valley in a second if I could.

Aww... I was hoping for a second there that I just found a resident of an awsome place that had natural green hair...

Well anywawys I agree with ya that I would move to starddew valley in a second if I could as well if for nothing else than to raise my own slimes!
(Oh and to take down Joja Mart as well!)

The most possible conclusion in regards to the NPC chatlog over Abigail's hair,

is that, Caroline is lying. Abigail doesn't dye her hair, and it's likely she is the wizards daughter.

Great theory.... if only Abigail herself didn't admit she dyed her hair blue... in fact she even asks you what she should dye her hair next as in a heart event.

She also says once you are married that she hasn't dyed her hair in a while.

She admitted to dying her hair blue, but it's purple. Maybe purple is her real colour and the blue they are talking about is the dye?

IIRC, Abigail's hair was blue in an early version of the game, but CA changed it to purple to keep it from blending in with her clothes too much. He probably never got around to changing the dialogue, though.
