My hair colour is dark blonde or light brown ("mousey brown"). I don't particularly like it but I think it's what suits me best.

I have always referred to it as being brown/brunette. However, my colleagues were discussing hair colour and all agreed that they would refer to me as being blonde. I know it's an ambiguous colour but I'm curious, would you say this hair colour is blonde or brunette?

Definitely brunette

OwlBeThere · 16/05/2021 00:00

It’s brown with highlights.
If I had to say in one word. Bronde. Grin

theweebabydonkey · 16/05/2021 00:01

Whatever it is it's bloody gorgeous (it's brown with highlights by the way)

steff13 · 16/05/2021 00:01

I'd call it light brown. I like it.

PickAChew · 16/05/2021 00:01

Bronde.

Serpenta · 16/05/2021 00:03

Brunette with some highlights. And very lovely too.

Minezatea · 16/05/2021 00:04

Brown. And lovely.

OldGreyBoots · 16/05/2021 00:16

Quite similar to mine, definitely brown!

RightOnTheEdge · 16/05/2021 00:20

I would say it's brunette.

notangelinajolie · 16/05/2021 00:21

Brunette with blond bits.

CirqueDeMorgue · 16/05/2021 00:22

Dunno but it's 😍

Pinkylemons · 16/05/2021 00:31

Brown with what looks like highlights.

Happycat1212 · 16/05/2021 00:39

Brown

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 16/05/2021 00:42

Blonde in my eyes. Dark blonde, but blonde.

GhostCurry · 16/05/2021 00:42

Brown. I don’t get why the term bronde has to exist. Yes there are highlights but it’s essentially brown hair.

JackieTheFart · 16/05/2021 00:43

You pay a lot of money to refer to yourself as mousey brown Grin

I’d call it dark blonde with highlights.

tonimitchell · 16/05/2021 00:45

Brown with high Lights

BlackeyedSusan · 16/05/2021 00:47

yeah, dd went from blonde through that colour to light brown. I called it light brown.

WhatAboutTheRoses · 16/05/2021 00:49

This is about as dark as blonde can get IMO, after this it’s light brown

strawbs90 · 16/05/2021 00:51

I knew without looking you’d be brunette and sure enough I was right!

ErrolTheDragon · 16/05/2021 00:55

It's definitely not brunette, that implies dark brown not just 'brown'.
Id guess it can get natural sun highlights, and there's golden shades so I'd probably say blonde or 'fair'.

tonimitchell · 16/05/2021 00:57

Tbh I think some people are colour blind.

It’s like those facebook posts where people ask - ‘do you see pink or grey?’

CreamFirstThenJamOnTop · 16/05/2021 00:59

Light brown.

ErrolTheDragon · 16/05/2021 01:04

Tbh I think some people are colour blind.

I think some don't know what 'brunette' actually means!Grin

The real distinction is down to what pigments your hair has. If it's naturally got yellowish tones then it's fair/blonde.

DumplingsAndStew · 16/05/2021 01:11

Yeah, that's not blonde.
