Perhaps to you, and Wroclaw, it is, but there is not an exact distinction between light brown and dark blonde. The boundary between the two is vague.


Actually, in Polish, you'll find that "ciemny blond" is quite wide. As Jonny said -

JonnyM:
It could be the 'ciemny blondyn' thing again. I know people in PL with black hair, who have 'ciemny blondyn' written on their Identity Card.

This is dirty blonde by UK standards:

Dirty blonde

I'm not sure if her eyes are blue or grey, mind.


Who is that? I almost blew my load.

Wroclaw:
i don't agree. light brown (mousy) is not blonde.

light brown for Poles is dark blonde and other way around for Brits,different perception
For Poles the colour is still blonde and for you it is not.
Des Essientes:
Wroclaw may not consider "dirty blonde" to be "blonde" but the people using the term "dirty blonde" which includes the word "blonde" in it obviously do, otherwise they'd say "light brown" or use another term that doesn't contain the word "blonde".

simple !
Wroclaw:
it stems from lack of vocabulary. mousy is a new word for many.

No, stems from different perception - for you it is one shade too far to call it blonde for Poles it is not!
PennBoy:
in Poland the term swinski blondyn/blondynka (swine/pig blond) is applied.

Have you ever heard about platinum blonde ?the term your have provided is used by boisterous youth and not applied to females, especially attractive females.
PennBoy:
For true, or 'Scandinavian' or whatever u'd like to call people with light blond hair, in Poland the term swinski blondyn/blondynka (swine/pig blond) is applied.

For blonde the term is blonde you blonde, or light blonde or platinum blonde.
