─Warnings: none

— You had been traveling with Shanks and his crew for a long time, you had a great relationship with everyone, but you never understood why they were called the "Red Hair Pirates", none of them were redheads.
— You didn't give it much thought, maybe they just liked the name and that was it, you weren't one to judge their criteria for the crew's name, so you never questioned it or brought it up.
— Not until now.
— You had been practicing oil painting techniques, and Shanks was in the perfect pose to capture, you asked him to hold the position for a moment so you could paint him.
— He simply smiled and agreed, he loved your paintings but had never had the chance to be portrayed by you personally, so this was his opportunity to see how you interpreted his appearance.
— Benn was the first to look over your shoulder to see your progress.
─ Perhaps Benn was the only one who knew you were colorblind, not for any specific reason, but because he’d had a few arguments with you before regarding the color of certain objects, but he never paid much attention to it, he assumed you were aware.
— It wasn't a surprise to him, but Yasopp, who passed by a while later, was completely stunned, "Why are you painting Shanks' hair green?" Because is green...?"
— Lucky Roux walked by as well, bursting into laughter upon seeing the portrait of his captain, it looked like he had seaweed on his head instead of his flaming red hair.
— Shanks finally got tired of the commotion and approached to see the portrait.
─ He looked at it, then looked at you, everyone fell silent for a few seconds, "Is this really how I look in your eyes?" "Like what!?" "My hair isn't green!" "Of course it is! Are you all blind?"
— Even though it was everyone against you, you stood your ground, insisting that Shanks' hair was not red, you argued about the subject for at least an hour.
— "Why do you think we’re called the 'Red Hair Pirates' ?" You fell silent at Shanks' question, he was hiding an amused smile at the whole situation, "Well, I don't know! I thought you guys just liked the color red, or liked people with red hair!"
— Your answer only caused everyone to laugh harder, you still didn't understand what the problem was, you refused to believe your eyes were lying to you.
— Benn calmed down after a good laugh and tried to tell you it was okay, that you were simply colorblind, but you didn't take the explanation very well.
— Of course, you had never dealt with the issue so directly with anyone, and you’d never had trouble differentiating other colors before, you didn't even know you were colorblind yourself, discovering it because of Shanks' stupid hair was embarrassing.
— So, for the time being, your captain still has seaweed hair, you won't admit your mistake so easily, you're going to fight for your pride.
— Shanks ended up framing your painting in his quarters anyway.
