How do you say brunette in spanish?

Question

On a website it says that Morena means brunette but I thought it meant dark skinned.

Answer 1

Trigueña is a lighter brunette. Morena is a darker brunette.

Some people say morena referring to a black woman, but they do it because they're afraid it's offensive if they say black (negra), which is not true.

Answer 2

morena is for tanned or brown skinned people it is also a nice way to refer to black people, in Mexico as an endearing term we use prieto or prieta to refer to tanned or brown skinned people,Trigueña/ño is derived from the word trigo that means wheat and the hair color resembles that of the wheat, also castaño is used to describe hair color, since castaña is how they refer to a certain nut/pecan in Spain and is a bit darker than wheat, so if they say trigueña or castaña it means hair color,
morena/no is skin color. Morena and Moreno are also Hispanic last names, to sum up:
Brunette-trigueña
Tanned-morena

Answer 3

Yes, morena is the word for brunette.
Look at the lines from the song
"Por una morena echar mucha bala
Y bajo la luna cantar en Chapala.".
There is even a song called
"Bésame morenita".

Answer 4

Morena/o.

Answer 5

Yep, it's translated as Morena, and it may be referred too to dark skinned as you says...

So in Spain, if you have brown hair, you're 'Morena'... and if you take sunbathes then you try to get yourself 'Morena'... and also if you have brown/black skin, you're 'Morena'...

The three cases have the same translation...

Answer 6

Morena/o
and referring to the hair color you could say castaño or castaña.
