colored bangs is a hair tag that NovelAI Diffusion can use. On Danbooru it has 88 posts, and its best-rated still image scores 354. The samples above put the tag at the front of a fixed base prompt with seed 1234, so the differences between tags come from the tag alone.

How these samples were made
Every image uses 832×1216, seed 1234, 23 steps and the k_euler_ancestral sampler. The base prompt and negative prompt stay the same for every tag, and only the tag under test changes. Images flagged by the NSFW check are regenerated with a new seed or hidden.
From the Danbooru wiki
Two-tone hair where the entire bangs are colored differently than the rest of the hair. Similar to split-color hair, except the split is between the front and back halves of the hair.
Should not be used for split-color hair, or for small hair streaks inside the bangs.

Should I use V5 or V4.5?
