Pandemic grey

LOL Grin

No, Pandemic Grey is what I now have after a year since I last got my hair coloured or cut. With a naturally occurring balayage of blorange at the bottom.

Mouse.

MrsMoastyToasty · 11/01/2021 15:54

I think its frappe latte cappuccino with a hint of mouse and gilded highlights or some sort of poncey name

I would say blonde too, although the picture isn't the best? Have you got a proper face-on photo? You can always scribble your face out.

AnyFucker · 11/01/2021 15:56

You have your answer, op.

It's new potato

Imissmoominmama · 11/01/2021 15:56

Ash blonde, I’d say.

Tangledtresses · 11/01/2021 15:57

Dark ash blonde
But new Potatoe is 🤣🤣

RickiTarr · 11/01/2021 15:58

@FuriousWithTheNHS

It's called Light Ash Brown.

It's not blonde, it's not got a hint of red or gold in it, it's slightly greyish (ash) and it's not dark.

Medium brown.
I can't see any blonde in there.

What are you thinking of doing with it, Op?

BalloonSlayer · 11/01/2021 16:06

If you were blonde till you were ten then it went dark, then it's called mouse.

(Interestingly rabbits that are mouse-coloured are called agouti)

Janaih · 11/01/2021 16:09

Dark ask blonde.
Mouse isn't a hair colour, you don't see it on boxes of nice n easy do you? So stop being snarkey.

AcornsTrustee · 11/01/2021 16:13

Growing-it-out grey. Mine’s exactly the same.

'Mousy brown' is a hair colour. It's been called that for at least five decades to my knowledge, and for centuries before that, probably.

It's no different to calling someone's hair colour 'chestnut brown', or whatever else.

An agouti is an entirely distinct species. It is a rodent related to the guinea pig.
BalloonSlayer · 11/01/2021 16:23

Mouse is definitely a hair colour! Not being snarky.

It's the colour most platinum blond children end up with.

It's a nice colour, but most people with it don't like it because they used to be blond and preferred that.

My eldest was born with mouse coloured hair, unusually! It has never changed.

BalloonSlayer · 11/01/2021 16:25

Dodobookends I meant that's what the colour of rabbit is known as, as in black rabbit, white rabbit, agouti rabbit.

Beautiful3 · 11/01/2021 16:25

Dark ash blonde.

SparklePiggy · 11/01/2021 16:25

Mousey brown

JM10 · 11/01/2021 16:26

I'd say ash blonde.

Then again, who else has new potato coloured hair, maybe take that and be unique 😂

JingsMahBucket · 11/01/2021 16:27

Brown. Why do people have such a problem not being blonde? There's nothing blonde about the OP's hair.

(I also like new potato as an answer.)

Hopeishere52 · 11/01/2021 16:28

Dark ash blonde

That's because nobody wants to have mousy hair.

Absolutely! My hair was mouse as a child.

Robbybobtail · 11/01/2021 16:36

I say mouse. Blonde kids tend to go mousey as adults.
