But it was also sepia, which could've made the red look like black...
I suspect that's it's actually black, too, but because Iris has black hair, and I think Dahlia dyes it red. After all, which is going to be the one with the dye: the one in the town/city with all the stores and connections, or the one in the secluded mountain temple who-knows-how-many miles away.
But I'm just checking ^_^

Though it'd make more sense for them to have the same hair color, I'd be inclined to think of Dahlia's as naturally red just because

As for Pearl- brown hair is more dominant than black. Pearl's father most likely had brown hair for that reason. But I digress

Could be a sunburn.
*shot*Anyway, animes can use all kinds of hair colors. Take Fire Emblem, for example; they have hair colors ranging from pink to blue to green and even more... Compared to that, red seems pretty natural. ^^

April may has pink hair.
Edgeworth has gray hair. (and we know it's natural. Well, either it's natural or he was dyeing it when he was 9 years old)
Franny has blue hair.
Redd has purple hair.
Hotti has pink hair.
Max has purple/pink hair.
Luke has two-tone hair.
Lisa has blue hair.
Vera has blue-purple hair.
Wocky has THREE-tone hair. (doesn't hold a candle to Yugi, tho)
I'd think red would be normal...
And WallOfIllusion, that's a very good point with the spirit....
GAH!
This is hard

However, I could see the argument that it was the other way around:
I hope that makes sense. I don't really have any definitive evidence.

Maybe because they're twins? That would explain it. Besides,

Besides, Phoenix probably would have been a lot more suspicious of Iris when he met her again at Hazakura if "Dollie" had black hair most of the time they dated.

The game was made in Japan. In Japan, the overwhelming majority of people have naturally black hair. However, in anime and games, the characters frequently have a wide variety of hair colors. I would assume it would be natural, given this, that the Japanese kind of ignore hair color as an indicator of familial connections.
It is a device for the player to tell them apart. Other, presumably identical twins in anime/manga/games have been given different hair colors. And I get the sense from the game that Dahlia and Iris were intended as identical twins; that is what I firmly believe, at any rate . Given the fact that hair color is not addressed at all despite several glaring questions it raises (Iris and Dahlia switching, channeling issues), it seems that it wasn't really considered an issue, and the hair colors were for the player's benefit, and also as an indicator of Dahlia's inner character.
Any number of explanations can be given and debated within the actual game canon.

They're obivously fraternal, then, despite how much they look alike.
...or maybe the post above me makes more sense?

So much for nuns taking a vow of poverty
Anyway, I'm plumping for Iris dying her hair, continuosly for 6 months.

(Not putting this stuff in spoiler tags since we've already had enough not-tagged spoilers :P)
For the switch when they were dating Phoenix, one of them probably just dyed her hair.
And there isn't an issue at all with channeling. When a spirit medium channels a spirit, although her body type changes, her hair color remains the same (as seen when Pearl and Maya channel Mia, since she doesn't retain her brown hair). Since Maya was channeling Dahlia, at that point Dahlia had black hair and could switch with Iris.
Oh, and super-fantabulous new idea: They're both bald, and just wear wigs
(So like, when they switched places to date Phoenix, they just swapped wigs!)

Also
Methinks Iris and Dollie are fraternal anyway, it is possible for fraternal twins to still look alike. (I mean, siblings/cousins can look a lot alike.)
Also I don't know if the writers did this intentionally or not, but in 3-5, Edgey states that he couldn't find Iris's fingerprints anywhere on his case files. This proves that Iris and Dollie are fraternal, because identical twins would have the same fingerprints. (Although maybe they just did that to reinforce that Iris =/= Dahlia.)
I have many yaoi OTPs which overlap... And most of which involve the Gavins.
I do write/support yuri and het from time to time though.

That's actually not true. Even identical twins have different fingerprints.

Iris and Dahlia are probably fraternal twins, or maybe the hair color is the only physical difference between them? Who knows? Point is, there's no acutal reason for her to dye her hair...

That's a bit of a stretch, though, and I don't particularly like that explanation.

Yep. Fingerprints aren't genetic. They are caused by pressure on the baby in the womb (or something like that--it has to do with the physical conditions of the womb) and since when you have identical twins, they are in different parts of the womb (close to each other, but still different parts) they get different fingerprints.
Perhaps they are both originally dark-haired, but Dahlia dyed her hair red after the whole fake kidnapping (prior to 3-4. I don't need to put that in spoiler tags, right? I mean, we're talking about 3-5, and you have to have played 3-4 to get to 3-5... w/e.) I mean, that would change her appearance a bit....
Oh, and I finally got a counter to that spirit debate :) When we Dahlia's spirit, her hair is tied up in that hairdo of hers. Now, the spirit would be her 'natural' self, and I don't think she came out of Morgan with her hair like that. (DO NOT POST PICS PROVING ME WRONG. I BEG YOU.) So I think we can assume that that means that her spirit-form became what she looked like when she died. And if her spirit-form can have hair-style of when she died, why can't it have the color/hair dye of when she died?

She might have not known better.
Anyway, I still think they're either fraternal with seperate hair colors, or identical with the same problem, since even identical twins have some feature so you can tell them apart.
Also for the fingerprinting, since they came from the same womb, they would have SOME resemblance between each other, but they wouldn't be totally the same.

If they only looked 'kind of alike', Phoenix would've noticed when they switched places.

She and I look absolutely identical. No one can tell us apart.That's as close as anyone gets to saying they're identical twins.
