Well, the Novels say Hinata has black hair, so that should say something.
I just heard it doesn't contradict stuff. If it really does, then that makes it less likely to be canon. Besides that's really minor, don't you think?

Well, most of the time when her hair is shown blue in the manga, it's due to lighting effects, like below, but yeah, it's bright blue in the manga and the anime switches it up in its shades, but it's still always visibily blue, not purple or black.

Maybe the color inconsistency is to subtly reveal she's bi-polar? *shrugs*

But seriously, I could attribute that to the fact they're just smart like that?

Doesn't orange turn blue into purple? Think about it. The lighting effect of Neji shrouded in orange chakra should give out that color effect.

None of the novels are canon.
But I hope they recognize Itachi's novel as canon.

As long as it makes sense and ties in with the events of the main plot, people should tolerate it. Still, Kishi has the final stamp.

Biblical devotion to an author is ridiculous and makes no sense considering no one author has ever created the Naruto series.

You enjoy whatever you like and don't question it because some fandom snobs deem it 'filler'. That's your decision and you shouldn't ruin entertainment be making it irrelevant for yourself.

It's not minor when it's literally the easiest thing to get right. I haven't read much of the novels, though, so that was the only one I am actually aware of. Maybe if I read more.

Manga also said she's a brunette. Idk why the anime change ish.

Yes, but that was like her first appearance. It's obvious she was meant to have the same color as the rest of her fam like Neji/Hanabi/Hiashi, but was changed to complement Naruto's hair color.

Anyways, Hinata's hair was established as blue afterwards, and it is still blue in Bolt, meaning nothing has changed. So that is a contradiction.

Oh, and in the NaruHina novel, Neji talks to Lee when he's asleep via his dream. I mean, I know Toneri and Hamura pulled that off, but ... I mean, really?

Steel Release is also in Gaara's book.

Also, the version of the timeline shown with Bolt movie doesnt have the Hiden novels.

was it stated that it is canon?

Kishi has also some involments in filler episodes and movies like Road to Ninja but that doesn't mean that it is canon

They were stated to be cannon.
They follow cannon and are followed by material that acknowledge it.
