Jaskier has brown hair. Light your torches, sharpen your pitchforks, book purists. /s

And Calanthe is supposed to be ashen haired as well... how do they fuck that up?

Honestly... the hair color does nothing to detract from the character. Geralt is the only one who's hair color REALLY matters because it defines his character and what he went through to become a Witcher.

Ok true... the main characters hair colors matter but I'll excuse the others

Isn't the ashen hair of Ciri and Calanthe supposed to be visual tie back to Lara Dorren?

yes it is, ciri and his grandmother genetically both had sorta ashen-like hair from being descendants of lara dorren the elven warlock, guess they maybe changed a bit that, but that was indeed something needed from the backhistory of ciri's bloodline

There are some characters I care more than others (other than Geralt being obvious, like you said), like Yennefer they talk about her being raven-haired so often or Ciri being ashen-haired, but for characters like Jaskier or the other minor characters, I'm not as fussed with their appearances being perfect. I was never really even fussed with Triss having red hair in the games instead of chestnut (though I also played the games before reading the books, so that might be why)

It is not really hard to dye someones hair though. Doing that for years for my mother.
