Best Hair Colors For Fair/Pale Skin

Blonde

Platinum blonde, silver, ashy & white are great colors to start off with. Popular celebrities like Gwen Stefani are popular for trying out platinum locks too. 

Espresso

If blonde isn’t your hair color, espresso is your way to go! Although this look can be a bit too intense for cool-toned skin, it works well for women with warm skin complexions. This lovely contrast can make the skin look porcelain-like. Dark brown hair color can also be experimented with. 

Cool Warm

If you love chocolate colors, girl, this is your shade! For warm skin tones, a nice and rich brown color will look flattering & pretty. Celebrities like Miranda Kerr have sported this creamy look & it has worked wonders. 

Warm Red

Fair-skinned women also look good in colors like rust, amber & strawberry. Stars like Emma Stone, Jessica Chastain have worn such copper shades & have looked absolutely stunning in all of them. You could also try some warm & cool undertones to achieve a creamier look.

Best Hair Colors For Olive Skin Tone

Caramel

Caramel highlights go wonderfully with olive skin tone. In fact, they’re also ideal for women with lighter complexions too. Not just that, they add brightness to your hair and illuminate the complexion as well.

Cream Blonde

This color offers a nice blend of both cool & warm & is known to flatter olive skin tones especially. 

Navy

The Navy looks fresh usually. This kind of blue is perfect amongst those who are fashion conscious & feel comfortable flaunting it. Although navy highlights are great, you could consider getting your hair navy entirely.

Rooted Gray

Gray hair can be quite flattering. For this, all you need to do is keep your roots dark instead of going for a complete head of grey hair. This will balance out the hue of your skin tone as well.

Best Hair Colors For Dark Skin Tone

Purple

Love taking risks? Then purple is your color. Go for a color between light to deep purple. Purple after all stands for independence, pride, ambition, royalty, luxury & peace.

Violet

Violet looks perfect with that gorgeous dusky skin tone. Although it’s quite daring, the color will look amazing on those unafraid to take new risks. If you don’t want to make a strong commitment, try Overtone for a temporary look that will help you decide if you want to go permanent with purple!

Icy Blonde

Celebrities like Cynthia Erivo have rocked the icy blonde look at the 92nd Academy Awards. This signature look has looked wonderful for years. It has paired well with smokey eyes & a cherry color on top. So if you want to try, this is your signal.
