For cool skin tones with blue or pink undertones,

If you have cool skin tones with blue or pink undertones, then these hair color ideas will work for you:

• Light to medium browns
• Platinum blonde
• Salt and pepper (an all-over color that looks like white hairs are sprinkled throughout your natural shade)

Avoid: red, ash blonde, orange, gold

For warm skin tones with a yellow or golden undertone,

Warm skin tones with a yellow or golden undertone are best suited for copper and honey blonde hair. If you want to be a redhead, try a strawberry blonde or copper red. If you want to be a brunette, try dark brown or honey blonde.

For olive skin tones,

• Olive skin tones look best with warm, dark brunettes.
• Olive skin is very similar to a light tan and tends to have freckles, so avoid bright reds or pinks that will draw the eye away from your face.
• Your hair color should be darker than your natural shade (or lighter if you have a medium complexion), but not so much so that it looks unnatural.

Finding the right hair color is all about knowing what undertones are in your skin.

Finding the right hair color for your complexion is about more than just how light or dark your skin is. It’s also about identifying what undertones are in your skin, which can help you find a hair color that works with them and highlights them.

Undertones come from the amount of melanin in our skin. The higher our levels of melanin, the darker our undertones will be; if we have less melanin present in our skin, it will result in cooler-toned undertones (pink or blue). These cool-toned types can pull off sharp cuts like pixie cuts and shaggy bobs because they don’t need any extra contrast between their hair and their face—they already stand out!

The warmest people tend to have golden olive complexions and darker brown eyes with thick lashes like these:
