What type of red is your hair?

Red and reddish hair have already shown to be at elevated frequencies in Rh negatives (among wavy hair), but are there specific tones at even higher frequencies among us?

Queen Mary I of England was described with either light or dark auburn hair during her early years and reign

Is auburn hair something that could be compared to hazel eyes (or central heterochromia even) for example?

Auburn hair is common among people of northern and western European descent, as well as North Africans,[7] but it is rare elsewhere. Auburn hair occurs most frequently in Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden), Britain, Ireland, continental Germanic Europe (Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg), France and northern Iberia, Poland, and Russia. This hair color is less common farther south and southeast, but can occur somewhat regularly in Southern Europe (more so in Spain, and to some extent Portugal and Italy). It can also be found in other parts of the world colonized by genetically European people, such as North America, South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Siberia, etc.

Do any of these fit you?

Does this make it clearer?

Titian is a tint of red hair, most commonly described as brownish-orange in color. It is often confused with Venetian and auburn.

Which one is you?

    From birth to about age 10, my hair went from carrot to ginger, copper then auburn. You can see the changes in my childhood pictures. It progressively got darker and more brown. It stayed auburn until I started going grey in my late 20s. Now I color my hair to cover the white but stay as close to my natural shade as possible.

    Somewhere in range of auburn, titian and rust. The red has faded as I’ve got older but I’ve always been darker than ginger and I have dark brown eyes. Pale freckly skin though! My son is a proper strawberry blonde with grey eyes and we’re both negs. We’ve also both got curly hair.

    My hair was closer to mahogany until it started to turn grey at a fairly early age. However my daughter and 2 of my grand daughters had copper coloured hair at birth ( like a new penny) that darkened in different degrees as they grew older. My hair has always been wavy with a mind of it’s own but my red head girls did not get the waves and have lovely thick straight red hair. Only one of my grand-daughters is RH neg. None of them inherited my green eyes.
    My mother and grandmother were both redheads.

    This is fascinating! Since I was little, I was always thought of my hair as sand—when I’d scoop a handful of tiny grains and look closely at it in my palm, there would be every color represented, but blended together it looked beigey-golden—exactly like my hair! I have strands that range from near white to medium chestnut, intermixed with strawberry blonde, rust, and copper. My eyes used to be dark chocolate brown, but as I got older, they developed flecks of green and amber. My eye doctor says that shedding pigment in the iris is a genetic thing; I was adopted but I know my mom had clear blue eyes and copper hair. I don’t know her blood type, but I can certainly guess, particularly considering her personality and that I am neg.

      I am starting to think that “undefined” might be a new appropriate color category for Rh negatives’ hair.

    I’ve have natural thick curly hair, from birth it was dark mahogany brown to light ash blonde as a toddler, it’ll pre nursery, then started to darken, to Golden blonde with darker shades to the chestnut, : and i have hazel eyes (or central heterochromia even) green with brown around the iris with speckles or brown over the green.
    does that mean I still have the ginger gene, as my son 5 yr old son dad is a Heterochromia ginger with carrot/ginger to strawberry blonde hair, our sons hair at birth ash blonde and then golden blonde to medium/dark ash blonde now, but doesn’t believe it to be ginger gene hair colour.

    Different shades of brown and auburn, some hairs are even jet black. And some are pure white. Some are in the process of turning to white. No grey, yet. I’m not sure how to describe my hair, but I usually pull it up and it just looks dark brown when up. Eyes are hazel bronze almost olive green but not quite, in the light and look brown indoors.
