sublime you said that dark brown hair looks black when wet. OK. I am having a hard time accepting that every dark brown haired person is walking about with wet hair. Personally my hair is only wet under the shower and I normally shower alone and not in public. My hair is dry most of the time. Seriously I think that most Northern Europeans are unable to see the difference between dark brown hair and black, both dry. Probably No. 4 is the brown that they can distinguish from black. East Asians on the other hand can see the red in dark hair better than Europeans.

I think Darksphere is correct in that Borrebys dominate Denmark, at least it appears so from the racial maping. Borrebys can be blonde, as Darksphere said.

Borrebys can be blond, but its not typical for Borrebys. Coon wrote that the Fehmarners are the purest Borrebyes in Europe so I think when we are talking about what Borrebys look like we should look at Fehmarners. About the Fehmarners: ``In modern times the Fehmarn people have been moderately isolated, enough so to have developed and preserved a local type of their own. This type, in brief, is the nearest living approximation to the Borreby race of the Mesolithic`` and ``The hair is brown as a rule among adults; 54 per cent could be classed as dark brown (Fischer #27, 4-7); the rest are divided between golden and ashen shades of light brown and blond. The hair as a rule darkens steadily throughout life; at the onset of senility, 80 per cent of all non-white hair observed was dark brown, as against 7 per cent at the age of 6 years. By contrast, the eyes are very light; less than 3 per cent have brown or dark-mixed shades (Martin #1-6); 78 per cent have eyes which are pure light or almost entirely so (Martin #13-16). This combination of very light eyes with brown hair is typical of Palaeolithic survivors in northern Europe, rather than of Nordics.`` www.fikas.no/~sprocket/snpa/chapter-XII5.htm
