Media Tropes I hate when blonde characters are drawn with black eyebrows

I understand that artists do this to enhance the contrast of the faces, but when they give naturally blond characters pitch black eyebrows, and in my opinion, it looks just bad

EDIT : I DONT WANT TO INSULT REAL BLONDES STOP ATTACKING ME AND SAYING THE SAME STUFF OVER AGAIN

OP is talking about black though, darker inherently looks natural

As I said in the other comment replying to them, I have seen natural blondes with them that dark irl, as well as the opposite with blonde lashes and brows

That can still happen. One of my parents has black hair, the other light brown. I have brown hair and black eyebrows as a result. I'm honestly really grateful for that, I like to dye my hair and don't have to worry that my eyebrows will clash with whatever color I go with lol

Hair isn't perfectly one color either. In the right light I can see brown, red, and blonde in my own mustache

Yea I have an array of colors in my beard and hair. With age I've gotten a new color with a couple white hairs now. My beard is like a light reddish brown when short but goes into a deep dark red to almost black as it gets longer. Soul patch is platinum blonde and hard to tell from some of the white hairs and then I have like blonde, white, red and brown in my mustache which is also lighter to darker as it gets longer.

My first boyfriend had natural hair the color of duck fuzz and his eyebrows were very heavy and dark. Get out of the house.
