Hmm, it appears that that's not a translation error. However, it wasn't the anime that made a mistake here. The anime based the designs of Leafa from abec's illustrations of her for the novel. It's most likely that abec and Kawahara decided to change her hair colour for the light novel publication and Kawahara just forgot to change the hair colour reference in the text ( is how she was supposed to look like in the web version). Or abec didn't notice the hair colour reference and decided to choose the colour arbitrarily. Either way, it's not the anime's fault in this case, since the original design was created by the illustrator of the novel.
