• Source: List of people with red hair

      • This list includes people with natural red hair. Red or ginger hair may come in different shades, from strawberry blond to auburn. With only 2% of the world's population having red hair, red is the rarest natural hair-coloration. The list includes people who have dyed their red hair into another color or whose red hair has gone grey with age, but not people who have dyed their hair of other colors red. Biblical figures (such as Esau and Judas Iscariot) or characters in classical mythology appear in the list, but characters from modern fiction, such as Anne Shirley from the Canadian novel series Anne of Green Gables and Ginger Hebblethwaite from the Biggles Pelagia novels, do not.
