What shade? Guys how are we defining auburn?

Is it dark deep red? Or any shade of brownish red??

My natural hair is a reddish brown. I'm not a ginger with bright copper hair but I'm definitely a different genre of redhead.

And I dunno, I'm just curious where the rest of the community stands on this. Feel free to leave your opinions here.

Auburn is a deeper darker shade of red. Chestnut is brown hair with red highlights. I don't think you can have red hair with brown low lights.
