Kaxen and the Continued Mysteries of Blond-ness

@almhw85 replied to your post “@snowv88 replied to your post “For the purposes of...”:

If it can help, we use the word "châtain" in French for the mystery color which you marked with :??? 😉 There are of course different nuances from light to dark. It's also depending on personal appreciation whether someone can be called "blond" or "châtain clair". I'm in this annoying color zone myself 🤣

​....I find it very funny that one online dictionary translates chatain as blonde and another as brown... TRULY THE MYSTERY ZONE.

Though "chestnut" color also comes up and honestly now I am like..... does chestnut color refer to the outside of a chestnut or the inside?

Though since I am a Horse Person, the color of chestnut in my mind is a red-toned brown. Nowhere near Mystery Zone Blonde.

Châtain might cover Lejeune's hair since his hair does appear to have very light highlights to it sometimes, but I am thoroughly baffled the 2012 Versailles Exhibition calls him blonde-blonde.

The only person who draws him unambiguously blond is Patrice Courcelle (and wargame mini painters who copy from Osprey books) and as the man was not alive to see Lejeune in the flesh, it's not entirely useful.

Michel Martin Drolling drew a Lejeune in 1837 and it's not very blond looking either. Why is his hair so curly. IDK.

And now to swing back to Junot. None of these look like blonde to me. The first one being by Isabey circa 1805 means it was done by someone who saw him with his own two eyes.

And now Nic Rouleau. I think at one point someone called his hair a wheat field.

And now to look at hair color swatches for hairdressing.

All the chatain options look like brown to me.... hell, even some of the blond options in the first set of swatches look like brown to me.

DO FRENCH PEOPLE JUST CALL EVERYTHING EXCEPT DARKEST BROWN BLOND?!

And now Arsene.... is that dark blonde or light brown?

Michel Martin Drolling - Official Portrait of Emperor Napoléon - 1808

Napoleon Bonaparte (born Napoleone di Buonaparte; 15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a French military and political leader who rose to prominence during the French Revolution and led several successful campaigns during the Revolutionary Wars. He was the de facto leader of the French Republic as First Consul from 1799 to 1804. As Napoleon I, he was Emperor of the French from 1804 until 1814 and again in 1815. Napoleon dominated European and global affairs for more than a decade while leading France against a series of coalitions in the Napoleonic Wars. He won most of these wars and the vast majority of his battles, building a large empire that ruled over continental Europe before its final collapse in 1815. One of the greatest commanders in history, his wars and campaigns are studied in military schools worldwide. Napoleon's political and cultural legacy has endured as one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders in world history.

Michel Martin Drolling (7 March 1786 – 9 January 1851) was a neoclassic French painter, painter of history and portraitist.
