Plum is a flattering color.

It’s vibrant and fun, but it can also be more muted and natural. Plum looks good on most skin tones, with the exception of those with extremely fair or olive complexions. If you’re considering plum for your hair, it’s worth remembering that plums come in various shades—some more purple than others—and this can impact how well they complement your complexion.

Plum works with all hair types (from straight to curly), as well as ages and genders. It’s an especially great shade for women who want to make a bold statement but aren’t ready to go full-on redhead or brunette yet!

The shade of plum can have a big effect on how it looks on you.

The shade of plum can have a big effect on how it looks on you. For example, if you have dark hair and want to try out some purple in your locks, then the result may be a lot more dramatic than if you had light-colored hair. The medium brown shades are ideal for people with darker skin tones because they blend nicely with their complexion.

If you want to get creative but don’t know where to start, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways that plum can be incorporated into any look. From subtle pastels to deep reds and purples, there is no limit on what types of hues work best with this color range.

Plum can be bright and vibrant, or it can be more muted and natural.

Plum can be a range of colors. It can be a darker shade of purple, or it can be lighter with more red, which makes it look like a plum color. The brighter and more vibrant the plum is, the more blue it has in it. On the other hand, muted and natural plums have more red in them—this is known as having an undertone.

For example:

• If your hair was dark brown and you wanted to dye it dark purple but not too bright and vibrant, then you would use a color like this Colorful Plum Purple Hair Dye Kit (pictured above). This contains no ammonia or peroxide so even if you’re trying to dye your hair at home yourself without bleaching first (recommended), this will still work great on dark shades without being harsh on sensitive scalps!

Your skin tone can affect the way plum looks on you.

Olive skin tones and warm undertones should look for plum colors with more violet. A deep violet-plum works well for olive complexions, as it will have a cooling effect and won’t wash out your complexion. A lighter pink-purple may be used if you want to add some color without going too dark or heavy.

Darker skin tones and cool undertones can wear a deep purple plum. This is especially true if your natural hair color is dark brown or black; this shade of purple will blend nicely with these hue options while still creating dimension in your look (and not making you look washed out).

The best plum shades will complement your skin tone.

The best plum shades will complement your skin tone. Plum hair color can be a great choice for cool-toned skin, but if you have warm undertones, it’s worth looking at other options.

You can find swatches of different plum hues online to see which ones look best on you before making your decision. If you want to go a step further and use a professional colorist to help find the perfect shade for you, that’s fine too! The important thing is that you feel confident in whatever hue(s) you decide on—and that they suit who YOU are as an individual.

There are different ways to incorporate plum into your hair color.

There are a few different ways you can incorporate plum into your hair color.

• You can use plum as a base color, highlights, or lowlights. This might mean using the same hue for each section of hair or having a mix of shades in one style (for instance, some pieces might be red while others have more purple tones).
• You can use plum as an accent color to add dimension to your look. If you choose this option, I recommend using it sparingly so that it doesn’t overwhelm the rest of your look but still makes its presence known by standing out against other colors used in the same style.
• Plum ombre is also an option: simply apply darker hues at the root and lighter ones toward tips and ends of strands!

Plum is a great shade, but what makes it work is how you wear it.

If you’ve been looking for a new hair color and want something that’s flattering and not too out there, plum can be the perfect solution. Plum works well for most skin tones—it just depends on how deep of a shade you go with!

Additionally, if you’re someone who wants to add some color to their hair without going full-on red or pink, then this may be the best option for you.
