Tawny

I think their is a lot of confusion with this colour...

For me, it started when I was about twelve and reading a Conan novel; so I went to my dictionary and it told me it was a golden red-brown colour and that was it for me; I not think any more about it.

But like 10 years ago, I getting this thing of people calling tawny blonde, I thought they wrong till I read another dictionary which stated a yellowy-brown!

Well to sort problem; it is like this...

* Of an orange-brown or yellowish-brown colour:

Wikipedia does a good description of it....

Here:

It is just something which slightly annoys me as a description; "The tawny hair Gunderlander attacked!" etc. And it like well is that blonde or reddy-brown?

So, in theory; it really is anyone's best guess!

New Evidence:

Look at the world five hundred years later. Tribes of tawny-red-haired Hyborians have moved southward and westward, conquering and destroying
many of the small unclassified clans.
