Why do we call it 'blonde hair' instead of 'yellow?'?

Anonymous

Always wondered that. when i was a kid i would say 'hey look at the yellow haired guy' and my mom would say 'we call them blonde hair, not yellow hair.' so why do we do that?

Blonde and yellow are different colors essentially. Yellow is just a more bright color, while blonde can't be called yellow. Yellow can be blonde, but blonde can't be yellow

The same reason someone with brown hair is called a brunette. I guess that is just the way it is.

Blonde is a little bit darker and a bit duller than yellow i think

I always wondered why red hair is called red when it looks orange.
