What colour is my hair?

(Please help me resolve a debate I’m having with DH.)

What would you call it?

  • mouse
  • light brown
  • something else

It tends to go a bit blonde in the sun as you can see from the ends. Also needs a good cut!

It's light brown! Much too warm a colour to be mouse.

The condition looks lovely and shiny too Smile

FoggySpecs · 04/11/2021 18:33

Dark blonde

Palavah · 04/11/2021 18:34

Dirty blonde

BiscuitLover09876 · 04/11/2021 18:37

Light brown

MrsFoxyplease · 04/11/2021 18:37

Dark blonde imo.

Incidentally the same colour as mine so I'm watching the thread with interest as my dp insists I'm light brown.

TheNinjaWife · 04/11/2021 18:37

I’d a at medium blond. Why not go into Boots or Superdrug and compare against a box colour?

IvorCutler · 04/11/2021 18:38

Dark blonde

Blackmagicqueen · 04/11/2021 18:38

Dark blonde

FindingMeno · 04/11/2021 18:39

Light brown

Dark blonde. Very nice.
Some people (men!) can't understand that there is more than one shade of blonde.

TheNinjaWife · 04/11/2021 18:41

Sorry I posted that by accident while I was trying to edit it.
I’d say you were medium blond with hi lights. Check against a box colour. There is usually a colour chart on the side of the box to compare. I’d say you were a medium blond (6). I use 7 which is dark blond, but my hair looks light brown and much darker than yours.

CambsAlways · 04/11/2021 18:42

Light brown

CiderJolly · 04/11/2021 18:56

Some shade of blonde

jackstini · 04/11/2021 18:56

Dark blonde

JumperandJacket · 04/11/2021 19:31

Thank you, everyone. This is helpful as I’d being saying mouse and DH was saying brown. I had dyed blonde hair all my adult life until I grew it out over the last few years so it’s a novelty!

Dark medium to Dark blonde
It's too light for light brown as you can see from the photo

Of say brown, light brown.

immersivereader · 04/11/2021 19:37

Dark blonde. If you were in the sun all the time it'd go bright blonde.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 04/11/2021 19:49

Not mouse. I once twacked a mouse with a tennis racket and it wasn't that colour.
There was more red in it.

WaltzingBetty · 04/11/2021 19:50

My hairdresser told me the difference between dark blond/light brown is the tone.

Dark blonde is cool with either ash or honey tones
Brown has reddish/caramel tones

ANameChangeAgain · 04/11/2021 19:53

Your similar to me and I'm dark blonde.

Dancingonmoonlight · 04/11/2021 20:50

I'd say light brown. My DC has dark blonde hair and its much lighter than the photo.

Blondiney · 04/11/2021 20:58

Medium/dark blonde.

Receptionclass · 04/11/2021 20:59

Dark blonde. I'm jealous- your hair must be so easy to bleach. I'm dark brown/black and love bright colours so need a bucket load of bleach first!

tempchecked · 04/11/2021 21:00

Light Golden brown, and it's gorgeous.
