I went with dark blonde since I usually dye it.

It's spelled both ways in the OP, so maybe assume typo here on this informal anonymous website instead of being a pedantic fool.

OP here. Thanks all. I went with blonde. Was not expecting to be so flummoxed by this!

Huh interesting. I didn't think about this but yeah, I could see how it could hinder some individuals since it's good for 10 years. In your case I'd go with blonde as it says "what mother nature gave you".

I don't think it really matters. I'd probably put dark blonde.

So my hair color changes every few months. It was orange and pink when I applied for my passport. This was not an option (although interestingly it was on my gov background check!). I just put blonde, which is my nature color.

That's actually a great question. I think you should go with the majority color today.

I know this is dumb, but it's a government document and I don't want to have any issues.
My hair is naturally reddish blonde. When I was younger, I pretty much always died it more red. So my last passport says my hair is "red".
Since then, my natural hair color has gotten darker and started to gray, and I no longer dye it red at all. Most recently, I dyed it a kind of dark golden blonde (could also read as kind of a golden brown, or highlighted brown). But that was over a year ago, and since then I've been trying to decide if I just want to let it go gray. So I now have about 6 inches of roots, which are either a very dark blonde or brown (depending on how you define those) streaked with about 20% gray.
So, uh, what color do I put on my new passport? Do I just say red because that's what was on it before, even though it's not at all red anymore? Blonde since the majority of it is a dark blonde? Brown even though I've never in my life been described by anyone as a brunette? Gray even though it's only about 20% gray and that's only the undyed portion?
