Is brown a bit tame?

There is more to brown hair than meets the eye. Brown hair is the second most common hair colour. It ranges from light brown to almost black. Surveys show a third of all men prefer women with dark hair and they also show that women are taken more seriously in the work place. People with brown hair are often called brunette which has the French meaning ‘Feminine Form’.
