Best Hair Color For Green Eyes and Different Skin Tones

Fair or pale skin looks great with the lightest hair colors, and you can wear shades like platinum and pale strawberry blonde that women with medium or dark complexions may have trouble pulling off. Neutral light blondes and pale shades of red are especially flattering for showing off your green eyes. For example, rose gold and ash-blonde are also good hair colors for pale skin.

Colors to Avoid: Very dark shades can make your fair skin look ghostly white. Avoid black, dark brown, and intense jewel tones.

Olive skin isn’t always warm. But if your olive complexion is full of yellow undertones, feel free to play them up with a warm mocha brown base color and tons of caramel highlights.

Like blonde, red is a shade that many olive-skinned women shy away from. The key is to not choose a hair color that’s close to true red, but something more toned down like cool mahogany or this deep shade of auburn. A hint of red here helps to enhance green eyes but doesn’t clash against the green and yellow undertones in most olive complexions.
