In [episode 16](https://www.crunchyroll.com/that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-
slime/episode-16-demon-lord-milim-attacks-780733), timecode 9:10, of _That
Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime_ , Milim refers to Rimuru's human form as
being a "Silver-haired humanoid". Here is Rimuru (right) and Milim:

Did they just have a bad translation, or does "silver" refer to some broader
range of hues in Japanese? Or maybe Milim has some sort of weird color
blindness, or sees only in black and white? I'm pretty sure most watchers have
assumed Rimuru's hair color is blue, the same color as his slime form.

Silver-haired humanoid?


Well, in the original web novel Rimuru's slime form is silver and the human
form is described as having silver hair. But in the light novel and manga
adaptations they changed it to blue. The anime's art and story are more
closely based on the manga than the webnovel, so I'd guess that's why he
appears as having blue hair in the anime too.

In the scene you're referring to, Milim does actually call him silver-haired
and it's not a bad translation. Maybe blue just looks better on screen, I
don't know why they do this. Although, there are some other anime too where
the hair color looks different from what it's supposed to be, I don't pay it
much heed.
