I'd imagine that they'd turn out orange as well (like Iris points out in her post). I'd also
imagine that henna over naturally very light blonde hair would turn out orange too.

This would be the natural cause of orange-red henna color over that type of base
color. As henna only adds an orange-red cast to the hair, your natural base will shine
through and determine the final color. The lighter the base - the more intense the
action of the orange-red would be; the darker the base - the more muted the action
would be. From that also follows that a blonde would be a fiery red with henna, where
a light/medium brown like myself will turn auburn and a dark brown would only get a
reddish cast of an otherwise brown base.
