There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

I thought until now that all platinum blonde hair was a result of dyeing, and in that case, I don't see why you couldn't dye any hair whatever you wanted, but it sounds like there are rare cases where adults do have it naturally:

So TIL.
Looking online, I see material mostly saying that there can be variation among all of head, eyebrow and pubic hair, but that generally head hair is the lightest, and eyerows and pubic hair tend to be closer.
I do see some people claiming that their eyebrow and pubic hair color do not match, so assuming that this is accurate, you probably don't have a guarantee.

That does make me think, though...I think that we have all the tools necessary to give someone natural hair of whatever color in 2025. It would not be quick or inexpensive, but it sounds like we do have the technology.
First, remove the existing hair:

Take skin cells from the patient.
Genetically-edit to obtain hair of given color.
From that, grow new skin that's genetically compatible:

Then transplant the hair follicles back into the patient.

So if you had the time, money, and determination, I imagine that you could probably get natural platinum blonde pubic hair if you were set on it.
In practice, my guess is that it's probably preferable to dye it.
