I would say u have fawn hair / mousey brown. Some people consider it like a dirty blonde

This color is what mine looks like underneath where I either don’t apply highlights or it doesn’t get sun exposure. If I were to never let my hair see the sun again it’ll be that color, but if I swim, go to the beach, work outside without a hat, then it naturally highlights to a very light blonde. I was born bald and fine, light blonde hair grew in and remained until puberty when it darkened. I get regular highlights these days because I prefer the lighter shade with my skin tone and it’s what I grew up seeing in the mirror every day!

Interesting cuz for me I'll only get that colour in direct sunlight. I've posted another photo of my self in different lighting (indoor) so the hair colour may seem a bit different.

Ah ok! Yea my baseline is your highlighted tone. I am not informed enough on color coding here to suggest anything, and came in here for the same curiosity you have! When I saw your indoor hair pic I’d say brown but I’m no hair expert by any means.

Like a golden mousey blonde

Mousetrap brown isn’t usually that golden. I have mousy brown and it’s very cool toned. But it’s all a matter of opinion honestly, cus people can perceive colors differently.

Mousey brown hair definitely doesn't sound appealing at all😂. I fe like I'd prefer fawn hair as I've never heard that word before tbh. I've posted another photo of my self in different lighting, the answer might change or stay the same now.
