In another common usage, which Spanish word translates 'Brunette'?

• A. Rubio
• B. Moreno
• C. Pelirrojo
• D. Castaño

Answer: (B)

Brunette describes someone with dark hair, and the most natural general translation in Spanish is moreno (masculine) or morena (feminine). Among the options, moreno fits best because it directly conveys dark brown/black hair. Rubio means blond, pelirrojo means red-haired, and castaño refers to brown hair more specifically (often chestnut), which isn’t as close to the common notion of brunette. So moreno is the closest direct equivalent in everyday usage.
