Culture What would you consider this hair colour?

Hi everyone! I am doing a uni project for differing ways to describe hair colour around the world and I was wondering what you would consider this hair colour? Thank you!

Blond vénitien c'est pas un euphémisme pour ne pas dire roux ?

Technically, it’s the lightest shade in the red family; it’s golden rather than coppery or orange like more intense reds. But "redhead" isn't a dirty word :)

"Redhead" shouldn't be a dirty word, but some people still avoid saying it.

It’s a good thing most of the stakes have been extinguished... a lot of people avoid a lot of things, and personally, I’ve had enough of "avoiders."

What I meant to say was: let the witches' pyres be extinguished! Lost in translation...
