Where ... the blond begins?

de gea was when younger though, not anymore for sure.

That's still light brown.
Paul Bettany is blond.

That is a god question. I have darkblonde hair but in my country it is called lightbrown or just brown hair. But in Southern-Europe they think that i have blonde hair. I can understand the both perspectives. In Sweden blonde hair is hair with yellow in it and in Southern-Europe blonde hair is light hair. I dont realy know where i would draw the line but the first thing that comes upp when i Think about blonde hair is hair that is yellow.

This Polish volleyball player has what is consider light brown hair in Poland, it is the most popular hair colour in Poland.



This is already brown for us, but I think he falls inside light hair category (including light brown too).



All these 3 guys have average pigmentation for my ethnicity.



While this guy is already called ''blondyn'' in Poland.



These four Poles would be considered blond everywhere.

I would say that i have the same hair colour as the one who is considerd a ''blondyn'' but it gets medium or goldenblonde if i spend time outside during summer.

Yes, spending time in the sun can alter your hair colour, especially if combined with bathing in salty water (in the sea). I remember getting some blondish reflections / streaks in my hair as a teenager still in the summer and it lasting for a while. You don't need any tint or hair dye for that as long as your hair relatively light.

I have seen different opinions on this subject. Where the blond begins? I thought it would be an interesting idea to discuss as even when it comes to something as fundamental there's no consensus for.


This guy and this girl are already blond as far as the Polish concept goes.

Both of them are light brown-haired, not blonde.

Not really but I guess this kind of argument is what thread was supposed to bring out. He (Mateusz Janikowski) is already obviously blond imo even if it may seem dirty blond. At least in Poland he passes as such. On the left you have light-brown haired man (Andrzej Wrona).





This is what is called dirty blond hair / fawn.

[Übermensch]

What is this hair colour according to you?
Light brown? Light auburn?

If the hair is brown-colored as in your first two pictures then it's called brown hair, as simple as that. At least to me. Here is where (dark) blonde hair starts at:

Does "blonde" differ by ethnicity? Majority of these people aren't blondes to me.
