My Websters says 'black or dark brown; dark'

Good place to go for a definition!

 

[wildsweetone]

Tawny T Widsweetone,

Do you both reckon I might be safest by describing the hair colour as "DARK".

Sorry for being a pain but ...

I'll have to get a big bunch of them.

[wildsweetone]

dark sounds safe to me dear.

one flower for me was just perfect jon, thank you.

Thanks Wildsweetone,

Its 3.23 in the early hours here in the UK so I am shutting this pc down and off to my bed - have a nice day.

Sable is actually a very, very dark brown. In essence, have you ever seen someone whose hair looked black until light shone on it and it proved to be a very dark brown? That is sable.

 

[wildsweetone]

come to think of it, sable paint brushes ring bells too...

Ladies fellow authors (is that an oxymoron),

Thank you all for your help to a mere man who I guess only sees hair as blonde, ash blonde, peroxide blonde, cornfield gold, red, ginger, reddish brown, mousy, light brown, brown, chestnut, and black.

Now I know what sable is - is my education complete?

Seriously you have all helped me to get a story right!

lol

jon 's for all of you
