I'm actually not sure about Jensen Ackles hair. It does look blond sometimes but other times it's pretty dark (I wouldn't call it brown though). I'm guessing it depends a lot on the lighting and how much sun he's seen lately / how short it is.
So I did some research, because I'm a dork: Apparently he was blond as a child (which loads of people are) and on Smallville. This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blond) is what wikipedia has to say on varieties of blond hair. The thing is, even pretty dark hair can count as blond (my sister's does for instance) if it doesn't fit into the category of brown hair (Ashen hair, for instance, is mostly labeled blond not brown even though it might be darker than some shades of brow. (And if that Afghan girl counts as blond, Jensen probably does too.) Also, I'm guessing if he grew his hair out he'd probably end up with a color similar to the Danish guy in the picture.

However, I guess a lot of those labels are personal interpretation. I'm pretty sure one can neither state that he's definitely blond haired nor that he's definitely not. :)
