Which Ombre Color Is Right for Me?

If you have a darker skin tone, deep reds, coppers and bronze ombre will look good on you. For a medium skin tone, choose rich browns, toffee and copper tones. If your skin tone is fair, then opt for ash tones, subdued blonde shades and golden caramel hues.

What color should ombre be?

In French, ombré means “shade” or “shadow.” In the hair color world, ombré is a dramatic, two-toned hair color effect that is typically darker at the top and lighter on the bottom. Often the dark, top section is your natural hair color shade and the bottom section is lightened with hair lightener.

How do I choose the right hair color for my skin tone?

Now that you're well-versed on your skin coloring, it's time to get schooled on different hair colors. Pick a tone that's opposite from your skin's undertones. For instance, those with warm undertones might opt for a cooler color, and vice versa. If you have neutral skin, you're lucky—everything looks good on you.
