To ask if this hair colour is blonde or brunette?

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?

@thecatsthecats

I know what you mean. It’s a nice base colour but could do with some colour to liven it up. I’ve been a dyed red head in the past.

I’ll probably get some bleach blonde highlights put in at some point, but at the minute I’m enjoying the condition and low maintenance.

Op the lady you posted has brown hair

The image you posted of your own hair is nothing like that and you’re blonde.

Bluntness100 · 16/05/2021 10:55

Sorry ignore, just seen it was another posters hair!

SummerHouse · 16/05/2021 10:59

Whose ever hair that is it's stunning. I would call it light brown.

RincewindsHat · 16/05/2021 11:00

Brown with blonde highlights.

MishMashMummy · 16/05/2021 11:01

I think that’s what the word ‘bronde’ was invented for!

It’s very beautiful, I definitely wouldn’t call it mousy!

Mollymalone123 · 16/05/2021 11:02

Brown but it is a gorgeous colour-all my family are white blonde and I always wished my hair was darker

EmmaGrundyForPM · 16/05/2021 11:02

brunette with blonde highlights

ElphabaTWitch · 16/05/2021 11:17

Bronde. Blonde/brunette dye job. Looking at the roots I’d say brown.

SuziQuatrosFatNan · 16/05/2021 12:24

This thread is like some kind of mad riddle:

"Here's a picture of a woman with bayalage. It's not me. What colour is my hair?"

I'm saying purple.

Badgerstmary · 16/05/2021 12:35

Definitely brown

NormanStangerson · 16/05/2021 12:46

Your whole OP was about what your colleagues say about your hair. Then you attach some random pics to your post and then wonder why people think you’re trying to pass the pics off as your hair...

I’ll reiterate my first comment. I don’t understand the point of this.

Bettyisboring · 16/05/2021 12:46

@lolacola77

Poo brown with blonde bits. It's horrible
This is why you have no friends.
Bluntness100 · 16/05/2021 13:02

No I don’t understand this either. If you want to know what colour your hair is post a pic of your hair, not someone else’s.

Overthebow · 16/05/2021 13:04

Definitely brunette, not even close to dark blonde. Lovely colour!

mainsfed · 16/05/2021 13:04

*I never said it was my hair lol. The photographs are ones that circulate all the time on Pinterest so I thought it was obvious it wasn't my actual hair and went without saying...

How would it be obvious? Confused you’re being disingenuous.

Overthebow · 16/05/2021 13:07

Oh just seem it’s not your hair. No idea what colour your hair is then.

Sparklesocks · 16/05/2021 13:08

Nobody can say what colour your hair is if you post reference photos of a completely different person.

SuziQuatrosFatNan · 16/05/2021 13:08

Nobody does. Not the OP, not her colleagues and not us. It's a mystery!

notawittyname1954 · 16/05/2021 13:09

Brown not blonde

amusedbush · 16/05/2021 13:10

It’s about the same colour as mine, which is a mid-brown, with blonde highlights.

Kokosrieksts · 16/05/2021 13:26

Brunette

RavingAnnie · 16/05/2021 13:27

I would say dark blonde.

SallyCinnabon · 16/05/2021 17:54

I’d say dark blonde or bronde, but that’s because brunette to me is someone who has this shade of brown hair (just my opinion though)
