Various factors can influence the shade of the hair color but in most cases it is found to be yellow whitish color. The distribution of the pigment can make a huge difference in its shade. For instance, someone with very little pigment produces pale blonde hair whereas another with more pigment produces the golden brownish blonde.

Variations in range of hair colors categorized as brown hair can be from an almost black hue to a lighter version of brown. The factor that influences the color of the shade is the quantity of the pigment that is present. The hair strands of a brunette are far thicker than those grown by a blonde. Females with brown hair are known as brunettes whereas males are referred as brunet. This color is mostly prevalent in Indo-Europe areas.
