Original hair color, officially deemed "Burnt Orange"

Has any one else noticed Cinderella's switch in hair color?
Wen Aurora was made she was supposed to be the only blond princess, as Cinderella's hair was officially called "burnt orange" and was not so yellow as she is advertised today. Also in the movie her dress is a much lighter blue than as you see it when advertised. i have also discovered that her new yellow hair can only be created digitally, so is defiantly not how she was originally meant to look. Also the in the 50's her original shade of hair was very popular.
I realized her hair was wrong when reading an article about Aurora and how she was supposed to be the only blond one, and again when my mom came home from work saying she had watched Cinderella [at work lol] and that she wasn't blond and that she didn't see the blue dress in the movie and that it was white. so i looked it up and discovered this article

proving what i had discovered fact
does this bother anyone else?
i recently got a Cinderella doll and her hair is bleach blond, i now feel it is very incorrect.

hindaa i totally agree with ur point, it's true that her hair is changing, but the movie is so old and this picture is new and i think that they FORGOT about the real color of her hair :))

lolquack Yes Agreed<3

AllegroGiocoso I don't like the new Cinderella color scheme. She looks too bold this way.

shecallsme agreed. she looked much more elegant in the movie.

Wilhemee It is possible that the original was filmed in an early color process called Cinecolor, basically a two-color process that resulted in a limited range of colors. A burnt-orange (auburn) color was available. Fleischer Studios made one color Betty Boop film using Cinecolor and you'll notice that Betty appears to have red hair. Also, the dress on the cells was almost a grey or silver white - perhaps due to available colors
