Mousey, yucky, dull brown. Not dark brown, not light brown, in between brown. Just yucky. I highlight with blonde or red, and use wash out auburn. Can you tell I hate my natural color. I do have a patch of gray right above my right eyebrow. I used to pluck it, but it's getting too big. Stephen says it is not noticable, and maybe people will start thinking I am older if they see it.
