What hair color is this?

[Gwydion]

Is this hair color considered golden blond or ash blond or something else? Where in Europe would you most likely encounter this hair color in adult men?

Middle blonde. Scandinavia, Finland and Estonia.

Yeah I am not knowledgeable on hair color definitions but some female cousins of mine were telling me that it is ash blond hair and only Eastern Euros have it. I somehow doubt that to be true so figured I'd ask here.

Looks ash blonde in the first picture and middle blonde in the second. Your hair type is common in England, Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia; not sure where your cousins were getting Eastern Euro from.

Hmm. If that’s ash blonde, then what counts as light brown and middle brown?

I have no clue about hair colors other than a generalized sense of what's blond, black, brown, auburn, etc. I thought golden blond is when the blondness has a more rufious tint but not quite as reddish as strawberry blond and am not really sure what constitutes ash blond.

What is Carolina Kluft's hair color considered, ash blond?

[Bellbeaking]

Ash blonde. A little more common in NE than NW. But can be found across northern and central Europe. Also sometimes if people are blondish but going a bit grey they might look ash blonde.

The less said about such nonsense maps the better.

Not golden blond. I was golden blond till the age of 6 (I had the same colour as Naomi Watts and Rebecca Romijn):

If there are countries this hair color is more associated with, are there subraces more strongly associated with this color? I know Brunn is often associated with red and perhaps Anglo-Saxon is golden-blond with some reddish tendencies, but what of Hallstatt Nordid, Keltic Nordid, Faelid, or West Baltid?

It's most common in Scandinavia and Baltic states even though on individual level your hair color can be seen in Southern Europe, too.
Nordids (especially Hallstatts) and Baltids are most prone to having this colour but they vary from ash blond to dark brown-haired.

Only the East Baltids, really. Proper Baltids tend to have a darker nuance of blonde, from what I've seen.
