What colour is my hair? PIC included

I'm trying to analyse my colours online and I can't decide which shade of brown my hair is! I have pale skin, with (I think) blue undertones - the shade of foundation boots matched me to is 'calico' which seems to have a greyish/bluish hue. I have freckles and medium blue eyes. My hair, as you can see is sort of medium brown but I can't decide it its ashy/reddy etc. Opinions?

Damn you Im actually humming it out loud

With my mind she runs.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 11/08/2015 20:09

Golden brown. I can see why you're thinking ashy though due to the roots and your fringe. Does it get quite a bit more golden toned in the summer (if it's been sunny that is, not constantly wet...) ?

I keep trying to figure out my colouring too, I'm pale and my hair was golden brown most of my childhood, then went a dark dull more ashy colour (maybe it was just dark golden brown, but it made me look dead) and green hazel eyes. Still can't figure it out as I never seem to fit any of the categories!

scatterthenuns · 11/08/2015 20:11

Mid-brown

Getdownfromtherethisinstant · 11/08/2015 20:14

OK, golden brown! So perhaps my colouring is warmer than I thought - I always think cool as I'm so bloody pale.

NB I get thatvsongbin my head whenever Gordon Brown is mentioned

One of life's mysteries solved. Thought it was: lays me down with my monshiron. No idea what it was but always pictured some kind of cape. With my mind she runs makes so much more sense.

I also think you're golden brown.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 11/08/2015 20:21

Not sure on that Getdown I should be 'cool' but my hair was previously golden brown.

Maybe you're neutral? Or maybe there are just a few weird ones,myself included, who don't fit? feels hopeful

Dowser · 11/08/2015 20:45

Mid or medium brown. My original hair colour and skin colouring.

Milllii · 11/08/2015 22:02

If you have freckles then I would have thought you are a "warm".

MsBojangles · 12/08/2015 10:44

Light golden brown hair, ivory skin. You're warmer than you think!

MsBojangles · 12/08/2015 10:48

I always thought it was monshiron or manshiron too Eye!

Maybe we were listening to an entirely different song to everyone else? Hmm

Getdownfromtherethisinstant · 12/08/2015 10:51

So I think I'm a warm summer. Smile

OP posts:
MsBojangles · 12/08/2015 10:58

Or a soft autumn?

MsBojangles · 12/08/2015 10:59

OR

A spring or some description.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 12/08/2015 11:05

Another monshiron singer here! Grin

Op, what colour are your veins? It's all confusing. I was chocolate brown I think when I was a toddler, light golden brown until teens when I went a bit dark and ashy.pale skin,Brown toned freckles rather than golden ones and green hazel eyes. I seem to have bits fitting both cool and warm,my eyes are meant to be warm but I swear my skin is cool,as is ashy hair.

In my wrist I have one definite bluey purple vein and the others verge on blue-green Confused

BL00CowWonders · 12/08/2015 11:12

I have similar and a (good!) hairdresser called it 'dark blond'.
And FWIW I'm a deep summer colours-wise...

CrystalMcPistol · 12/08/2015 11:55

I thought it was 'monshiron' too!

Thought it was something to do with drugs paraphernalia.

Getdownfromtherethisinstant · 12/08/2015 15:44

My veins are blue. I was a VERY blonde child and my hair went darker in my teens.

Golden Brown is about heroin, no?

Blue veins is meant to mean cool skin tone, isn't it. Hmm
