In ancient Rome, Middle-class women colored their hair what color?

Red
Blonde
Black
Brown

The correct answer is: Blonde

During ancient Rome, coloring hair was a common practice among women of all classes. However, middle-class women specifically colored their hair blonde because it was associated with youth and beauty. Women from wealthier classes would often have access to a wider range of hair dyes and opt for more vibrant colors such as red or even purple. Black hair was typically seen as a sign of mourning and was not a popular choice for hair color. Brown hair was also not a popular choice as it was associated with being dull and uninteresting. Therefore, the most likely hair color choice for middle-class women in ancient Rome was blonde.
