I'm not really sure how to call my hair colour, so I call it colour medium to dark brown. :shrug: I know it's ash brown though. I thought since my brother has a shade lighter than mine and his girlfriend has even lighter hair that is definitely still brown not dark blond, that hers is light brown (golden toned) and his is medium (quite ashy) brown, which would put me in a dark brown category. Or maybe golden toned hair can look lighter than ashy? The thing is, that I saw shades darker then mine that were still called brown-dark brown.

Some pictures (ignore golden/orange/red tones in first two pictures, that was cassia and henna (really light mix, so it probably didn't darken my hair) and probably still some red dye on the ends):

- deep shade + flash

It's not ashy to me, it's neutral/warm. I'd say medium/dark brown. :)

I have no idea as far as how it being ashy affects it, heck I don't even know if mine is ashy or what xD buuut I can say I'd call yours medium brown :) My hair is pretty dark brown (my picture was taken indoors in natural (bright) light, although the phone camera quality was awful the colours are accurate) and I'd say your hair is a bit lighter than mine. Very pretty btw! :D

I would describe your colour in the last 3 pictures as medium neutral/warm brown, or "chocolate brown". It looks very rich and glossy - gorgeous!

I think you're right about not being ashy. It was more golden toned when I was a kid though, and I didn't even think about the middle option. :)
