The colours red, brown and black are represented, but were not used for the hair.
Or were all really innocent? Blond, the color of innocence.
There is one redhead. I equate her with Pyrrha, that Deucalion story again. Her name means red headed...
As to the blond hair, i think it could indicate a more northern origin for the artist, ie you draw what you know? Or to maintain a standardized reference to the use of the nymphs, ie they are not people, so why change them to reflect differences in people. A stripping away of cultural differences, perhaps.
Or you could be right about the innocence. Or the artist was a gentleman in his preferences (movie reference).
