Then why should anyone care about the physical represantation of quantities like a (hair) color, a street name or the like? Isn't it irrelevant, if those are stored as one symbol (say chinese script) or a string like "brown". On the logical level this is irrelevant and so we don't have redundant data at the logical level in your example.
