That's substractive colour mixing, that's with paint. Then the base colours are blue/cyan, magenta and yellow (and black & white for paint).
We're talking light here. Monitors/computers work with additive colour mixing. The base colours of light are red, green and blue.
Here's some links for ya:

You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

HaLLanHype did make me think though. Tried something out: mixing the hair colour using substractive mixing. This needs you to draw 5 layers, a negative cyan, negative yellow, negative magenta, negative key and a base layer (to prevent plain white hair). This is a lot less then drawing all possible colors we want in the game, which is currently ten. And it allows a lot more freedom for the players and more variation in their looks.
Here's a screenshot from the xcf file with it's layers. All layers modes, except the bottom one, are set to multiply. The Base layer's mode is set to normal.
I tried making the colours in Adaria's post on page 6 of this thread using this method:
I think with some editing of the colour layers they could look even better, because I don't like the highlights enough with some colours. Believe me, this already looks a lot better then colourising.

INCOMING TRANSMISSION:
Hello, I made one more new hairstyle. The color is in light blue for detail. Modanung and/or Adarias can make the colors since they seem to know them better. Here are my hairstyles all together so far:
The newest one is at the bottom if you haven't figured it out.
Hope you like 'em!

The hairstyle the main chars from Secret of Mana 1 or Chrono Trigger have.

Haha, yeah, I want to make that hairstyle next.
Last time I attempted to make that hairstyle (which was long ago) it came out totally wrong from what I wanted (I wasn't sure if I should have included the bandana with the hair or not). I forgot all about it until now.
Thanks for the reminder.
