Thank you

Its just that it looks so dark in some lights, is it more of you tawnies who are on the dark side?

I would say it definitely depends on the light, but I feel like I'm on the darker side of tawny.

I think I've found my people!

My hair has been described as strawberry blonde, lightest auburn, dishwater, mousey copper, and brownish blonde. It's colour depends on entirely lighting and angle.
I love the term tawny and think it's a perfect descriptor for not quite any colour hair!

Welcome to all the newbie (lion)mane-heads! I don't know about you guys, but I found it's one of those colours that hairdressers marvel over--not that I went to one very often, and defs not anymore! Hehehe. I've never had the dishwater and mousey tags for mine, though, as I'm more on the reddish orangey side of the spectrum.

Thank you

Yup! What's not white on me comes across as darker. I have all the hair colours that mix in, although the mix is getting lighter/blonder on the ends where I've layered it to show the underlying whites.

thank you!

Totally agree about hairdressers! Though everyone seems to have a different idea of what my hair colour is exactly. I wonder if any other tawnies have to play guess my shade with people?

[gypsycolleen]

I think I am too. I like that color description! My hair is strawberry blonde if I'm in the sun a lot, otherwise dark blonde to light brown with reddish blonde highlights. My greys are blending in right now to look like blonde highlights.
My eyes are light brown with dark green edges.

I like 'calico'! I too have coarse black strands next to fine blonde strands next to reddish-brown strands! Tawny sounds like an even distribution of a single dark blonde color.

I consider myself more coyote than calico

I guess this is me. I rid myself of it with henna and indigo though.

Something I've come to love about tawny hair is that it can be a real pain and sometimes impossible to duplicate with bottle dye. I told my hubby that this is just another reason I'm not coloring anymore. My color is mine.

Some neeto things. Tawny always sort of reminded me of that hot jungle girl look. Like I wanna put on brown eyeshadow and carve out a spear.
Plus, natural colors match under tones. No washing out, no Oompa Loompa.
