How blond are Danes and what's their main phenotypes?

[Septentrion]

iMO Danish people are very light even if we are comparing to peninsular Scandinavians.
50%+ blond if you count only wheatish/sandish/light goldish colours.
70%+ blond if you add goldish brown and light brown shades

Yes you are right.

I can imagine Septentrion waking up and the first thing he thinks about is the blond hair in Denmark.

Data on the hair and eye color of Danes is as extensive as that on stature, and covers the entire kingdom. Although no scales were used, the categories employed seem clearly defined and there can be little doubt as to the character of Danish pigmentation. Hansen found that "fair" hair decreased from 52 per cent at the age of 6 years to 33 per cent at 14, and fell to 16.6 per cent at the recruit age of 20 years. This "fair" category must, therefore, include pronounced degrees of blondism only, and exclude the light brown hues often designated as blond elsewhere. On the island of Samsø, Bardenfleth found only 7,5 per cent of hair which he was willing to call light, and 40 per cent of medium, 43 per cent of dark, and 9 per cent of black. Samsø is one of the darkest-haired regions of Denmark.

Dark brown shades are very different from light brown hair. These are different genes responsible for hair color. There are very dark blondes, their darkness is about green hair. There are light brown-haired men who are obviously not blonde and closer to brunettes. We need a hair scale-so that we would understand.

There was a comparison posted by Übermensch earlier in the thread.

Here is the original Fischer scale (originally posted by Milkaner):

#27: Black
#4-5: Dark brown
#6-7: Medium brown
#8-9: Light brown
#10-15: Golden blond
#16-26: Ash blond
#1-3: Pure red

The main phenotypes in Denmark are Nordid and Alpinid.

Danes are surprisingly blond considering that they are right next to Germany (Central Europe). I didn't have the impression that Northern Germans are very blond. They are lighter than Southern Germans but brown hair isn't uncommon even in Hamburg or Schleswig-Holstein.

Denmark is a different story though. Really interesting how people can look drastically different even when the distance is short.
