Possibly the nerdiest thing I've ever done
Yay graphs! Relating to the last two posts I wrote.
These track the percentage of MG anime heroines per year who had pink hair/blonde hair/etc. The "year" refers to the year in which a show premiered; TV shows, OVAs, and remakes are all included. The pale-colored bars are places where I lumped several years together in order to get better data, since the early decades had maybe one premiere per year. The X-ed out years had either no premieres at all or too few to provide useful data.
As you can see, pink outfits have seen a steady increase over the years, while red outfits have mostly been decreasing. The hair colors are kind of all over the place, but pink is on the rise. And pigtails are popular across the board.
Edit: 6/4/13: Changed the graph to be more accurate. Also the pigtails chart includes heroines who wear them in civilian form and those who wear them in magical form.
