[Colonel Frank Grimes]

When the sun is out it's this:

During winter it's darker.

[Mont]

5, I guess...

[Jingle Bell]

5, but depending on the illumination and sun looks like a 7 or 6

[Ellethwyn]

On that scale I guess I am between 18-20.
I have light blonde hair. My birth certificate says I was born with strawberry blonde hair. I have a mix of reddish blonde, golden, and light blonde.
A couple days ago I saw a woman with epic white hair. She was probably in her 60's. She told me her hair used to look like mine. I never thought about it before...what color my hair will turn when I'm older. If I end up with pure white hair, I will be so happy.

[Mortimer]

Either Black #27 or Dark brown but #4 not #5. The #4 type of Dark Brown.

Younger with still no grey hair

My hair can look from darker to blondish depending on the lighting, just to let you know.

[capocannoniere]

Ranges from 9 to 16. Upper hair is normal dark hair, but as it grew longer I find a lot of lighter and even blonde strands. Varies with climate though.

[Ellethwyn]

[Jana]

Golden blond scale (10-15), although in certain lighting it can look reddish like in my current avatar pic but that is just pseudo.

#6.

I actually dye incipient grey hairs trying to resemble my natural color, and the code number for my dye product is "6" too. I've tried 5 and it was too dark. Current hair cosmetic products must be using these Fischer metrics.

[Tongio]

Sort of beetwen #8 and #12.
Kinda similar to Colonel's, must be a galician thing.

[Richmondbread]

6 bordering on 5

[Impaler]

5, dark brown.

[alnortedelsur]

It looks about 6 to 8. Medium to light brown.

Thanks Elllethwyn :)

I also think the same. That my hair is chestnut, and blondish looking with the lighting.

[Ænglishman]

I have a three, but my hair sun bleaches easily so it varies between coppery hues, it was a strawberry blond when I was younger.

[aherne]

Now 7-8 (age 44),
Age 24: 11-12
Age 4: 17-18

#19 - Light blond, but my facial hair is not at all. Does anyone know what causes that?

[Rafael Passoni]

Between 5 and 6, my hairdresser chooses 5.1 from his colour chart.

[sacha]

It varies... a lot. I think a range of 7-10 is good enough to describe it


I can't find a picture but it can also look like a normal darker brown sometimes, I've posted that before, it depends on time of year & lighting

#8 near blondish (fast dunkel blond by Fischer) to dark blondish #9 (dunkel blond by Fischer). That is without significant photobleaching.

[retfala]

27- black I guess

[Mortimer]

Either #Black or #Dark Brown but usually most people say it is black and i wouldnt call my hair brown or tell someone my "hair is brown" they would rather look strange at me, if there is any difference at all between my hair and black it would be very minimal

[Rogan]

I was born ash blonde, but my hair darkened significantly.
Now it looks close to #10, but it can get a bit lighter during summer.

No that's awesome, nothing to laugh at. Gives me flashbacks to the great 90's show, "Saved by the Bell". :)

[Insuperable]

It's black.

[BakersfieldChimp]

My hair is (was?) dark brown. It has some grey peppered in. It is a mid-forties thing. I have earned every grey hair.

I have gray hair since age 17, be grateful. If I didn't dye my hair, entire front would be silver.
I'm 32 and 1/3 of my hair is already gray

[Mr.G]

My hair is (was?) dark brown. It has some grey peppered in. It is a mid-forties thing. I have earned every grey hair.

In my case my facial hair is greying but not my head hair, I've seen this pattern on many other men including my father. Either way, usually it eventually all turns. But I feel the same way about earning it.

[Kazimiera]

No that's awesome, nothing to laugh at. Gives me flashbacks to the great 90's show, "Saved by the Bell". :)

The crimped hair of the 80's was on its last legs and I hung some glass crystals on a strand of hair. I can't even remember how I did that, it was so long ago. That shirt though....... :picard1:

[Kazimiera]

Due to medications, I grow a beard. Just chin though, so not a full beard in case you get an idea of displaying me at a carnival as the Bearded Lady attraction. My beard is bright red, and since I've gotten older there is a stray white hair in there too.

I first noticed grey hair in my beard stubble about seven or eight years ago. A couple of years after that, it hit my head. I look at the male members of my family and there is little balding or weight gain and I have this aging thing.

[Dušan]

6-7: Medium brown

[Barba]

Dark brown/Black

9 light brown, my hair become lighter during summer.

I agree with you but shit happens. I shave like a man every second or third day. But I'd rather have a beard than be sick.

My hair is darkest brown looks almost black

All the hair on my body is the same colour

like Mr G my beard is going greyer faster than my head hair (which surprisingly still has most of it's colour as I approach my 50th birthday)

[KirillMazur]

Dark brown, somewhere between #4-6.
I recently turned 37 and have some gray hair in the temple area. No gray in beard btw. My father, at 60+, has just a bit little more gray hair than I do.
Still we haven't started going bald yet:).

Innovation is inevitable:). I recently started shaving my ears (every couple of months) and have also started to get a bit of visible hair on my shoulders.

Like 13, Varg Vikernes would call me an African for this.

Got no gray in 37. Hair on head are dark brown, but slavic soft, facial and body hair are black and thin, with some ginger ones at face. Ear and shoulder ones also appeared recently

You appear fairly standard golden blond and nothing extreme especially with any photobleaching taken into account. Maybe #13-15, not lighter.

Extreme golden blond to white blond #18-20 is rare among adults even in Northern Europe. Halfdan Bryn found as low as only 0.16% of cases in his largest survey of 11,771 Norwegian young adult recruits. I only have access through snippet view in Google Books but all the extreme blond numbers were well below 1%. Lightest ash blond Fischer #21-22 was found more common than lightest golden blond and actually exceeded 1%. Even if extreme golden blond hair color is more common in females it should still conceivably be less than 1% overall among Norwegian adults. It is probably totally limited to children or albinos in many relatively darker European countries.

Comparison

Natural
I think we have pretty similarly “toned” hair [posted mine in this thread but didn’t get a good one like you), though maybe the lightness/darkness is variable. I love the brown on you, blonde is nice but your natural hair is cute :-)

#27: Black

These are Fischer‘s own original descriptions:

Clear or distinctive red:
#1: light red
#2: medium (bright) red
#3: dark red
Dark brownish:
#4: blackish-brown
#5: dark brown
#6: medium brown
Light brownish:
#7: light brown
#8: near dark blond
#9: dark blond
Golden blond:
#10-14: medium blond (includes reddish-blond)
#15-17: light blond
#18-19 near white blond
Extreme blond (neither golden or ashen):
#20: white blond
Ash blond:
#21-22: light ash blond
#23-24: medium ash blond
#25-26: dark ash blond
Black:
#27: jet black

He sent his shades to various sources in England, Italy, and Sweden and decided on the names by general consensus:

Shade #9 for example is just light enough to be considered råttfärgat or blondish in Sweden. In Italy #8 is definitively blond instead of light brown but not in Northern Europe.

Lighting is also key for classification. This is the best quality Fischer scale photo I found online. It looks almost new to my eyes:

It's a little different here.
The hair on the head is dense and quite coarse, wavy, and looks kinda straight only when it is short enough. The beard is coarse too, even on the cheeks. Lots of reddish hairs too. The hair on the body is quite long and dark, but not particularly coarse. My arms and legs are almost non-hairy at all; if I’m wearing shorts and a T-shirt, you can’t even tell that my chest is hairy. Nothing grows on the back:).

:shocked:

I hope this doesn't happen to me. I can cope with a beard possibly ear hair too, but I don't want hairy shoulders.
It's no big deal, just a couple of razor strokes once a week are enough;).

[Katarzyna]

I booked an appointment with the hair stylist to get my hair brown again.
Tomorrow will be the day

[Cybele]

I think something like 6 or 7 (medium brown) under natural day light conditions.

If the sun light changes, it can appear like a lighter brown, with some reddish undertones. More like a 2-3.
In the summer, due to sun bleaching it can also get a bit lighter.

Are you truly jet black with bluish reflectance?

[Flashball]

Are you truly jet black with bluish reflectance?

No, blackish hair like japanese.

However, I have a slightly different beard and mustache color, with variations from "chesnut"/brown (dark, medium to light brown), blackish, then red, then reddish brown, and sometimes "straw" color.

In the sun, I do not benefit from any lightening unlike people with real brown hair: 3 hours of exposure to the sun will not make my hair color lighten, it remains close to black, or even black for human eye, but my beard is a different story.

I actually have more variation in my beard and mustache while I am radically homogeneous when it comes to my hair color where there is no shade of brown visible to the human eye.

Unlike some individuals (Christian Bale, Andrew Garfield and others) with medium brown hair and a slightly more auburn brown beard (but still in the brown shade range), who put gel on to darken their hair to make it look more "blackish" and creating a false contrast between their beard color and their beard color (giving a "different colored beard to beard" look), I actually have more variation in my beard than in my hair.

If I were to implant hairs from my beard on my scalp, it would be very strange given my color variations in this area, however, not having androgenetic alopecia I do not need it.

That is jet black or raven black with bluish reflectance. Most Japanese have blue-black hair like that, although Anders Fogh Rasmussen is Danish.

[Vessna]

my hair is dark ash blonde/light brown, photo bleaches in the summer to lighter shades.
