I am wondering why people say blue-haired for grey hair. It's particularly with the Thelma Harper character. I am finding more and more things on the internet that say she is a blue-haired widow. I have never seen anyone with blue hair in less it's been dyed or something. Clearly, Mama has grey hair, so I am wondering why some people say it's blue-haired. Maybe I am just colorblind, but this picture of Mama looks like grey hair http://www.televisionhits.com/mamasfamil...
Why do they say blue-haired for people with grey hair? For example, mama off of Mama's Family blue-haired?!

Its because professional colorists see other colors iside the hair like indigo,blue and pink when its not really there its hard to explain.

She dyed her hair a light blue color...and the reason is because since grey/white hair has no more pigment it picks up colors better

I think that the statement "Blue-haired little old ladies" comes from a time when elderly, or older women put color on their gray hair that gave it a blueish tint. It's become a thing to laugh about over the years, and there is a point to it. However, I've seen more than the blue shades around in recent years: peach, apricot, and something called "steele gray". Love it!

It doesn't happen so much these days, but back in the 40's to 60's when gray-haired women went to get their hair done, the hairdresser would put a rinse on it and it was SO "silver" that it looked like a light shade of blue... like a blue tinge to it.
Things have improved. I haven't seen any blue-haired old ladies lately.
