    HAIR.
    Adding the tone, light, medium or dark, to the blonde and chestnut terms gives the following scale which describes all the nuances:

    - light blonde, medium blonde, dark blonde,

    - light chestnut, medium chestnut, dark chestnut, black chestnut; the black qualifier is reserved for shades with bluish reflections (crow's wing).

    The word brown, sometimes used, should be replaced here by dark chestnut or black chestnut.

    - Red hair with a clear shade is qualified by the terms light red, medium red, dark red; when the roux is a mixture of blond or chestnut, it will be indicated taking care to highlight the dominant shade but without indicating the tone; example; red-haired or red-haired, red-haired or red-haired.

    EYES.
    The examination focuses especially on the left eye, well lit by daylight. The nuances to note are:
    - Light blue, like the azure of the sky.
    - Dark blue, drawing on the color of the slate.
    - Yellowish blue, blue (light or dark) covered with very light yellow filaments.
    - Light yellow, the central part, near the pupil, is covered with a yellow resembling the color of straw or lemon rind. while the outer part, near the white of the eye, is a light blue one darkens.
    - More or less greenish orange, the center is tinted reddish yellow like orange peel, the outside is greenish blue; the part colored in orange is more or less extended according to the individuals; note, depending on the case, slightly greenish orange or very greenish orange.
    - Greenish chesnut, the central part resembles the color of the dried hazelnut bark; we see a little greenish blue on the edges.
    - Light or dark brown, these eyes are tinted in almost their entire extent with a shade resembling the bark of fresh horse chestnut; this shade is more or less dark. It is the dark brown eyes that are wrongly called black.

    Medium brown eyes:


    Classical chesnut eye:








    Classical heterochromia eyes (two distinct color, the most predominant color, light, being the most visible by far):








    Chesnut greenish eyes ((color gradient, not a distinct, highly visible separation, the most visible part remains the chestnut; the light part preserves a darker shade than on the eyes heterochromia above):

    I entirely agree for the eye part, it's exactly what I've repeated here about the difference between Hazel eyes and central heterochromia...

    "Allobroges vaillants ! Dans vos vertes campagnes,
    Accordez-moi toujours asile et sűreté,
    Car j'aime ŕ respirer l'air pur de vos montagnes,
    Je suis la Liberté ! la Liberté !"
