What color would you say my hair is?

[olyaro]

It’s lighter in the sun and darker when there’s no much light. I think it’s not blonde but definitely not brown

Auburn

it has a lot of red tones and is not brown

first pic - light brown with some fairer streaks. I don’t understand how people can say that is blonde unless the meaning of the word has changed. Blonde hair is defined by lack of dark pigment. It has a yellowness, not a brown-ness. Second pic looks more like a dark blonde.

It's a golden dark blonde, level 7.

I think people are so used to 'blonde' being bleached/highlighted to a very light and very yellow shade that anything darker they think is brown.

I was thinking this.

It’s only brown if your reference point for blonde is bottle blonde or possibly a sort of Scandinavian “white” blonde that toddlers and children sometimes have.

To me it’s a honey blonde.

Never mind the colour, how do you get it so shiny?

Dark blonde. But I think you’d be referred to as brown, more than you would blonde if someone was giving a passing description

Warm level 7. Light brown/ Dark blond.

Medium brown with red undertones

Dark blonde. My hair was that colour when young. Now old, it has gone naturally ashy blonde. (For which i am extremely thankful).
👱‍♀️

Light golden brown.

Thank you, actually I do nothing just the mass market shampoo and conditioner, but uk hard water does make it a bit more thick and shiny

What colour were you expecting /hoping we would say op?

Im saying honey blonde.

I’m going to wax lyrical and say toffee cinammon

Sounds delicious, how about toffee cinammon Latte colour?

I had no expectations 😃 I asked just out of curiosity because I saw a similar post. When people refereed to the color of my hair, they often used the word “golden,” but I’ve never heard anyone say “brown.” Just wanted to check.

Beautiful hair! So shiny! Dark blonde.

Gorgeous hair, light brown with some lovely blonde streaks in there.. Have you had it highlighted?

Ah, that’s more on the blonde side. So medium blonde now

It’s dark blonde. Some people really want to gate keep blonde!

Dark blonde. And a lovely shade

Light brown.

Light brown

Dark blonde or honey blonde. Anyway it's beautiful.

This is so interesting! Scandinavian blonde (natural) is exactly my reference point, and used to be everyone else’s. Natural blonde, as a pp said, occurs when there’s an absence of pigment.

Possibly some of the shades people are describing are vanity shades for people with mid colour hair because it used to be desirable to be blonde.

I do agree the OP’s (beautiful) hair looks golden, but I’d say golden brown, not golden blonde.

Honey blonde.
