What is the neutral/non-negative proper term for the "mousy" hair color?

I always thought ‘mousy’ meant just 'boring brown’s. Maybe because I only read it in books. Most of the mice I’ve ever met are more chocolate pudding coloured than blonde - ‘ash’ or otherwise

Look at those links- even the “ash blondes” aren’t really blonde. And I’ve never seen a chocolate pudding colored mouse- they are somewhere between gray and brown
