I said, and I think I was the first to respond, but I think it has to do with age too.

Same question to why does out hair turn grey when we get old?

When your hair follicles stop producing melanin, the result is your hair turns white/gray. Scientist still don't know why hair follicles stop producing melanin and the weird thing is the means to produce MORE melanin remains in each hair follicle. But for some odd ass reason it suddenly just stops. Guess it's the natural cycle of hair since all hair starts out white before the follicles start producing melanin and your designated hair pigment kicks in.

Why do predator elder's dreds turn blue

Just my theory.. but that was never the intention. I think SWS used Blue colored dreds because that color would show up better (especially in the ORANGE lighting of the Predator ship) onscreen than if they would've used gray. Look at the Elder Preds body:

The gray spots don't show up as strongly as the spots on his dreads:

imo, they purposely used light blue dreds so the details would show better in the orange light. I think in normal light.. the P2 Elder is supposed to have gray dreads with black spots (the black spots being the original black coloring that's now fading).

I think it was just an error made by HT/ADI, etc.. because they saw the production pics showing blue dreads and they didn't consider or factor in the orange lighting and the reasoning behind that color choice.

Just my theory.

I tend to agree with Devil 666's opinion that the blue tint is for photographic reasons so they'd "read" correctly on film.

Lots of film props/costumes are an entirely different color in real life than you'd expect, so that they look the way the director/DoP wants them on the final film.

Case in point is the "red" uniforms from the original cast "Trek" films. If you see real ones, they're actually a very ugly dark blood color, almost brownish, but under high intensity film lights on the film stock used they "read" as very red.
