And the stories themselves contain no such descriptions of hair colors.

So what's up with that?
Symbolism, perhaps? I posted before that the children's hair resembled their parents (except Maria, but his father is unknown). So, to mark relations, we have code-hair. Then Battler's red hair sthealtly points towards a blood realtion with Ange. White haired Kyrie --> Sumaderas, Kinzo is probably stress related same as Tohya...

Maybe Battler's red hair was to not make that early the question about his real mother (If Kyrie was a redhead and Battler too, someone would raise the point sooner than the ep where it's layed).

And because, you know, hot-blooded protagonists gotta have red hair. White hair is best for the cool/cold type... or the mentally unstable ones.

But maybe I'm overthinking it.
