Should we just automatize the Brown Hair tag as "Brunette Hair" instead ?

To further explain myself better. We all know that the "Yellow Hair" tag gets immediately autocorrected as blonde_hair instead. There is no such thing as a "Yellow Hair" tag. Just blonde_hair and it makes sense.

So. This got me wondering. If we do this thing where yellow_hair -> blonde_hair then we should also make it so the brown_hair tag also gets autocorrected as a "Brunette_hair" tag instead. As in. brown_hair -> brunette_hair

I mean. We already call people with brown hair, Brunettes in real life. Similar to how people with yellow/gold colored hair also are referred to as Blondes

I just feel like the brown_hair tag should be renamed to a brunette_hair tag if we already classify yellow hair as blonde_hair

I would understand this sentiment for orange_hair -> ginger_hair but "brown hair" is a very common thing people say, unlike "brunette hair" which is mostly used as a noun (a brunette). Inverted situation for "yellow hair", nobody uses that term and "blonde hair" is the popular choice instead.

Really? "Brunette hair" isn't a real phrase anyone uses, while blonde hair is. Wikipedia even calls it "Brown hair, also referred to as brunette (when female)."

No but we should alias purple hair to purplette and green eyes to green orbs. this is a joke

isn't brunette only used for girls?

I've always used it for both personally. The wikipedia article linked above specifies "when female", but googling the dictionary definition shows a more gender neutral definition:

Noun: a person with dark brown hair (typically used of a woman).

Adjective: (of hair) dark brown. having dark brown hair.

Feels like that would be changing it just for the sake of changing it

Technically the masculine form is brunet (like blonde/blond), but a lot of people just use brunette for both.
