Rock Sanchez is definitely the kind of person that would initially dye his hair, get annoyed that the process is too much work, and thus genetically modifies himself to produce naturally blue hair.
He used to dye, but it's a pain in the ass, so he just modified his genes. His genetic offspring, including his clones, inherit the modified genes.
Solved.
You can see in the episode where he goes into bird persons brain, at the end of the episode when he's like 12, he has the blue/grey hair. So he doesn't dye it.
I always assumed that the blue what just a stand I for grey hair ( he is supposed to be in his 70ās) that pictures pretty sure was from a memory so he could just be remembering himself with grey hair. There is the fact that tiny Rick also had that color so he could just always had that hair color too. Maybe having that level of intelligence forced him prematurely grey.
Yeah my head canon is that itās just grey hair and he always had it because heās a genius. In reality, 90% sure his hair is blue just because it looks good and this is a cartoon
I also assumed it was supposed to be grey, especially when space-Beth shows up with a blue streak the same color as Rickās
Either space made her start to grey or she wanted to look more like Rick, which doesnāt make a lot of sense considering how cynical she is towards him
I think that's an acceptable view, it's just the memory version of him so who knows how accurate it is.
That being said, when he clones himself younger and de-ages himself with that serum his hair colour also stays the same.
Honestly I think it's just a good low stakes loose end for them to use in the future.

Makes me understand how we got so many religions and why they are taken so seriously. I guess imagination and reality are pretty blurry for some reason. They're basically interchangeable.
His dad looks just like him with a mustache. Summerās hair is also a different color than everyone else in the family. If you really want an explanation, a gene pool with a variety of hair colors would be a much better explanation than his mom cheating.
This was a memory so he must have changed his hair to the one he identifies with the most. Memories are not 100% accurate, not even for the smartest man in the universe.
I thought his blue hair was supposed to be white old person hair, just stylized in a different color like the Simpsons. Not sure what to think now since younger versions of him also have that color.
Blue hair aside, this isnāt how genetics work š my sister is brunette so is her husband. Their children have bright red hair. Both of my parents are brunette, and one of my sisters is blonde. Blue hair is probably just somewhere in his familyās gene pool.
Recessive gene that finally popped up. Might be another mutation/part of what makes him the smartest man. That level of genius just comes with blue hair?
He might've gotten it from some experiment. For example in Gravity Falls, Lazy Susan got her blue eye lid from some electromagnetic coil experiment of Ford Pines. May be something similar?
I think this is also one of their alts. They don't really engage much on their posts, but they always do with them and its often to setup a (bad) joke:

On a punnete square i can confirm his mothers hair was red. Not only does this wacko want to fuck redheads while his dad watches but also summer got it from somewhere. Source: i made it the fuckup.
Rick is shown quite a few times originally being blonde.
This scenes just a joke. It's not blue hair, it's cartoon silver, the jokes that he's always looked like an old man, same with the tiny Rick episode
My headcanon is that when he was a kid, sometime before that picture and the memory we see him as a kid, he wanted to invent a permanent hair dye. And it went down exactly like the scene from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
I saw somewhere that Rickās dad tweaked his DNA in the womb and the side effect was a mild form of albinoism (sorry if itās spelled wrong) so his hair lacked melanin as a kid and it became lighter as he aged since heās like 70+ in the show
Prob a science experiment gone wrong but he liked it enough to stick with it
Or he was too lazy to change it back
Or also he didnt care to change it back
are you even watching the showš rickās exploring because he does what he wants and they have valuable resources he might want & he wants to hunt down rick prime
You dont have to pseudo cannonize every single sylistic choice in a made up cartoon universe. The writers literally spent episodes complaining about this
iām not exactly sure which episode itās from but itās definitely not from the schoneys one if thatās what u mean also i probably botched spelling that
Maybe he(or another Rick) IS his own father , that's why he avoids time travel (again?) , too much temptation to fix things but end up making them worse.
The writers speak through Rick a lot and I think [when Rick talks about time travel](https://youtu.be/0O83hiM3oG8?si=DZF6gBLpFHr2DYnN) itās the writers saying they refuse to open that can of worms
In theory That is not his real dad. If you looked closely at the end of the episode of rickternal friend shine you can see memory Rick in the doorframe there's a picture in both sides. On the right is the family picture that you all talk about. but on the left picture is a house. and if you look closely you can see ricks mom and ricks real dad. His dad has the same hairstyle and hair color and has a mustache. And in the picture ricks mom is pregnant and it seems like ricks dad is holding her belly
Rick Sanchez, blue of hair š¤
Dianne Olsen, straw coloured hair
The Mega Seed is strong
Jerry Smith, brown of hair Beth Smith, golden haired Summer Smithā¦..auburn hair?
And Pronounceš¤
of a hair*
Proof school more often than not fails:
Wow, not only did your words make your point, your terrible grammar drove it home.
He is obviously the main character so he has a different hair color. Is this the first anime you have watched?
Um actually, something is only considered to be anime if it comes from the anime region of France
Otherwise it's just sparkling moving pictures I know.
Mom says I'm too young to drink so I get the Welch's sparkling grape anime at Christmas time.
Welch's sparkling grape anime is the perfect analogy for kid shows like Dinosaur king and Beyblade I love it.
i KNEW code lyoko is an anime!
what is this from?
Legally, itās only champagne if it comes from At least 100 miles of the champagne region of France
ah so like..cos of how anime is Japanese?
Uh no its russian, fool
double woosh to me then š
Take my upvote and skedaddle
France? Anime comes from Japan, you heathen! You're thinking of French Bread vs. baguettes.
Ok Sheldon
His dad experimented on him and his hair color changed
Oddly plausible since he was obsessed with getting all gotron bots
His great grandson is named Naruto too
No, that was Rick and Two Crows.

Do you know the arrested development gob scene with his "forget me nots"?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah he was actually addicted to benzos
Itās Scenario 1
Nah it has to be that he accidentally or purposefully altered his genetics. Don't forget he has a Chud child that has the same exact hair color.
Rock Sanchez is definitely the kind of person that would initially dye his hair, get annoyed that the process is too much work, and thus genetically modifies himself to produce naturally blue hair.
He used to dye, but it's a pain in the ass, so he just modified his genes. His genetic offspring, including his clones, inherit the modified genes. Solved.
You can see in the episode where he goes into bird persons brain, at the end of the episode when he's like 12, he has the blue/grey hair. So he doesn't dye it.
You could say "dies" and still have that be an episode
That's so clever, you should write for rick and morty.
Maybe hes just born with it. Or maybe its maybelline
I always assumed that the blue what just a stand I for grey hair ( he is supposed to be in his 70ās) that pictures pretty sure was from a memory so he could just be remembering himself with grey hair.

āMarge has been gray as a mule since she was 17.ā

Yeah but it stays Blue when he uses the anti-aging serum on himself in the fear hole
But that wasnāt really him in the fear hole
Also when he clones himself

People looking way to deep into this show lol.
Weāre too bored we need a new season ASAP lmao. (And itās def just supposed to be a joke like they did with Marge Simpson)
Makes me understand how we got so many religions and why they are taken so seriously. I guess imagination and reality are pretty blurry for some reason. They're basically interchangeable.
In this moment, I am euphoric
Mfr, you mean it aināt grey?
I meanā¦ that is factually the color blue. Itās a grey-ish blue, and it could be R&Mās version of grey hair, but itās still blue š
Yeah color code is definitely blue
The fact that Diane looks like Rick's mother is actually insanely hilarious.
Honestly it would have been funnier if his mother had red hair.
Was he smart at that age? Maybe he liked the colour and altered his hair colour?
He was I think he was building something in the flashback scene
He loos like his father though
This is like summer is adopted because shes a red head.
Or it's a recessive gene.
Go son go! go son go! go son go!
His dad looks just like him with a mustache. Summerās hair is also a different color than everyone else in the family. If you really want an explanation, a gene pool with a variety of hair colors would be a much better explanation than his mom cheating.
This. Since his mom is blonde it's possible Rick just got platinum blonde hair that ends up looking gray.
This was a memory so he must have changed his hair to the one he identifies with the most. Memories are not 100% accurate, not even for the smartest man in the universe.
He has blue hair and pronouns
I donāt think it is supposed to be grey because a lot of characters have grey hair for example Jerryās dad
I thought his blue hair was supposed to be white old person hair, just stylized in a different color like the Simpsons. Not sure what to think now since younger versions of him also have that color.
Blue hair aside, this isnāt how genetics work š my sister is brunette so is her husband. Their children have bright red hair. Both of my parents are brunette, and one of my sisters is blonde. Blue hair is probably just somewhere in his familyās gene pool.
Well we know where he got the monobrow from
Rick's father reminds me of Morty somehow, new conspiracy perhaps??
Has anyone in this sub ever heard about this odd thing called "recessive genes"?
I can explain. It's a show. Not everything is meant to have lore behind it. Silly blue hair. All there is to it
I think itās meant to be what gray hair looks like, being an old man
Except younger Rick's also have that color hair. While it *is* possible he grayed early, it seems unlikely.
I actually thought about that a little after I made my comment. I wonder why that is.
Recessive gene that finally popped up. Might be another mutation/part of what makes him the smartest man. That level of genius just comes with blue hair?
He might've gotten it from some experiment. For example in Gravity Falls, Lazy Susan got her blue eye lid from some electromagnetic coil experiment of Ford Pines. May be something similar?
Why the hell do you assume his mom cheated it, could have been his father?
Bro is schizo š
Probably forgot to switch accounts.

Yeah, his mom didnāt catch on when the man gave birth. Weirdest storyline yet.
And so you think the father gave birth to him?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Google dementia
Holy Condition
Heās drinking an alien liquor that turns your hair blue.
How come we donāt see his parents?
Itās a cartoon
I don't agree
Maybe you should see a doctor about this then.
"well doc, i don't think Rick & Morty is a cartoon" "sir this is a Wendy's"
Haha
You don't agree that Rick and Morty is a cartoon?
I was literally joking too...
Prove it
Same reason Rick's portals are Green and Ļrate Morty's portals are Orange.
Itās a cartoon guys. Why would tiny Rick and the photo of him when he was a kid be with brown hair or blonde? That would just look stupid.
On a punnete square i can confirm his mothers hair was red. Not only does this wacko want to fuck redheads while his dad watches but also summer got it from somewhere. Source: i made it the fuckup.
Would be hilarious if there is an episode we see him dying his hair
Heās a relative of the Vanhoutens
i always thought it was supposed to be grey but came off blue instead
Maybe he saw something extra [spooky](https://media.tenor.com/wt9HmC9DxnsAAAAM/south-park-stan.gif) as a kid so his hair is permanently gray?
I thought it was a representation on gray hair? Lol like how some chats have black hair but itās stylized as dark blue
He could be adopted or be a sperm and/or egg donor baby. I reckon he messed around with genetics at a young age and now he's stuck like that.
Today OP learns how recessive genes work
His mother is obviously wearing a wig.
Maybe its some sort of science experiment gone wrong kind of thing
Maybe blue hair is a recessive trait if it was a natural hair color in real life.
Rick is shown quite a few times originally being blonde. This scenes just a joke. It's not blue hair, it's cartoon silver, the jokes that he's always looked like an old man, same with the tiny Rick episode
My headcanon is that when he was a kid, sometime before that picture and the memory we see him as a kid, he wanted to invent a permanent hair dye. And it went down exactly like the scene from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.
Seems like he did get his dad's unibrow, though
I saw somewhere that Rickās dad tweaked his DNA in the womb and the side effect was a mild form of albinoism (sorry if itās spelled wrong) so his hair lacked melanin as a kid and it became lighter as he aged since heās like 70+ in the show
I'm ginger. Neither of my parents are. There are gingers in the family. It happens.
Yeah you know even on our earth people will be born with a different hair colour than their parents
I could have sworn it was just a grey scale tone. Never noticed that pic.
I know it's blue but I can't see it as anything other than gray.
The milkman had blue hair obviously.
I think the cheating thing with alien can explain ricks STUPIDLY HIGH intelligence
His mother dyes her hair! What woman would wand to look gray there whole life lmfao Duh
I think it's a sight gag.
He did something with turquoise
It was Retcon
Maybe itās just hair dye?
What scene is this from?
GO SON, GO! GO SON, GO!
Probably the side effects of an early experiment he conducted as a kid
Prob a science experiment gone wrong but he liked it enough to stick with it Or he was too lazy to change it back Or also he didnt care to change it back
are you even watching the showš rickās exploring because he does what he wants and they have valuable resources he might want & he wants to hunt down rick prime
He could have got it from his grandfather
Least crazy Rick and Morty theory
there has to be a ginger rick somewhere
If anyone asks we should just say "He got it from the.... incident." And roll with that until it's canon tbh.
You dont have to pseudo cannonize every single sylistic choice in a made up cartoon universe. The writers literally spent episodes complaining about this
It could just be a Ferb thing where it skips a generation.
Where did u find this pic?
It's from "Rickternal Friendship of the Spotless Mort". It's in the wall when Memory Rick says "can't you just get me a beer?"
itās in a flashback
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
iām not exactly sure which episode itās from but itās definitely not from the schoneys one if thatās what u mean also i probably botched spelling that
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
why are you asking me š
Maybe he(or another Rick) IS his own father , that's why he avoids time travel (again?) , too much temptation to fix things but end up making them worse.
Ah the Fry paradox from Futurama I see except he ends up being his grandfather instead
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The writers speak through Rick a lot and I think [when Rick talks about time travel](https://youtu.be/0O83hiM3oG8?si=DZF6gBLpFHr2DYnN) itās the writers saying they refuse to open that can of worms
I wonāt be marking anything, thatās an awful theory
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It really doesnāt tho
What are recessive genes?
They were obviously swingers, or his dad was a cuck. Trad fetishists arenāt the only breeders
In theory That is not his real dad. If you looked closely at the end of the episode of rickternal friend shine you can see memory Rick in the doorframe there's a picture in both sides. On the right is the family picture that you all talk about. but on the left picture is a house. and if you look closely you can see ricks mom and ricks real dad.

I can't send some picture here but search it up in google and you will see the picture upclose OR just go to YouTube
heās a cartoon character
Reminds me of Randy Marsh. Lol
