From the UK. I’ve never seen matte spelled as matt. CA, UK and AU are generally pretty close with spelling, whereas the US is usually off doing its own thing. It’s a similar thing to blonde and blond.
If they’re non-binary, you’re going to be so anxious about using the right pronouns that you won’t even notice their hair color.
Edit: it’s a joke answer, people, in response to a joke question. It’s not made at the expense of any marginalized individual or group. The only people who would be anxious about the situation are allies; the 'phobes don’t give a shit. Untwist yer knickers.

Being considerate just takes practice.
I thought it was blond = hair colour and blonde = person with blond hair.
Excuse me wtf
I shit you not, that is the etymological distinction between the two.
How strictly that distinction is observed is an open question.
