I voted for black and red because I couldn't decide between those colors. I like the black since John had black hair and I liked the red because Jane's been a redhead all along. I'm fine with any of them, to be honest.
Same. xP I personally prefer redhead, but the brunette seems like the safe neutral choice and parallels better with Sheploo. I'm torn.

I think this beauty contest is ridiculous. Not hating on redheads, blondes, brunettes or anyone, but really? Does anyone not see the irony in this vote? We are customizing a default Femshep, a face that many of us will probably not use anyway (if the statistics of customized Shepards has anything to say about that). The vote does nothing but minimize fan backlash (though I doubt that's true either).
Irony of the good kind, I think. Much like I said in another thread, with the lack of promotional material for femShep we never really had a "grounding point" with her. Not saying that a grounding point is required, personal preferences aside, but when people speak of femShep more often than not she's customized. So I find it very appropriate that we're able to do the same with the promotional femShep and that BioWare is giving their fans a chance to take part in it.

The "vote anything but blonde" comments that I've been seeing leave a bad taste in the mouth though. :/ It's sad that some people fail to acknowledge that the second vote is not an anti-blonde movement, that we can't go through with this without bashing other people, but that's humanity for you.
Not that the complaining would have ceased had the second vote not happened, but still...
