By my standards, you're dark blond. Your hair is definitely too light to be 
brown. You actually have the same hair colour as mine, when I still had 
enough hair ;))) , and everyone considered me to be dark blond, or at worst 
"châtain clair" ("châtain" is a term specialised in hair colour which 
designates a colour exactly between blond and brown  - in French, "brun": 
"brown" means "really dark" when it comes to hair colour -. So "châtain 
clair" is on the light end of the spectrum, close to "dark blond".

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
