Janey is correct, according to my NLSBO and my google excursion. Brunette is
dark brown (not black and not light brown). So the question is where on the
brown spectrum, does light end and dark start ? What do we call black-haired
people ? Surely not blackheads, I have heard raven-haired in use.
Now to the Lego section of this post, is the standard brown set of Lego hair,
dark enough to be called brunette ?
