When do you consider hair to be blonde?

I'd say that's about medium (auburn) brown.

It appears that way, but my hair is extremely deceptive. I was born with platinum blonde hair and it has gradually darkened ever since and I am now 21.

or Where I live dark hair is almost ubiquitous, therefore I am sometimes considered to be a dark blonde, which I disagree with. But gah, it's very confusing especially when someone in this area asks you to describe yourself and you get a "no you're blonde" " no you're redhead" or "no you're brown" almost as if they have taken offense xD.

I was surprised to see how dark blonde can be going by the charts.
I always considered blonde to be lighter with golden highlights.
So I trip over my own tongue trying to describe how dark I got (from very light blonde as a baby) and what I am now with my silver blended in lol

Okay, so, the resurrection of my own thread has brought me more questions than answers. So, I'm just gonna post some hair pics so I can get some input for my own self.

I know these pics might look borderline red/strawberry, but the fact is that my hair is VERY warm. Also, I was trying to balance out how ashy the pics ended up looking on my computer screen.

ETA: Also, the drawing I have for my av is a pretty good measure of what my hair color looks like in real life.

Looks blonde to me!
