11. Strawberry Blonde
Strawberry blonde can be your best choice if you’re hesitating between staying blonde or transforming into a redhead. It might sound surprising, but strawberry blonde is supposed to be a neutral tone, which means that it flatters any complexion, fair skin being not an exception.
12. Dirty Blonde
Bronde is a perfect low-commitment solution for brunettes who are skeptical about jumping into blonde with both feet. Dirty blonde beautifully complements pale skin with warm undertones and accentuates facial features. It can also be your best choice if your skin features red undertones: dirty blonde does a perfect job in neutralizing unwanted redness.
13. Platinum Blonde
Ashy, white, silver or platinum blonde hair are a great complement to pale skin that contains red undertones. When it comes to color, remember that opposites attract. Any light cool blonde will neutralize pink skin so it’s an ideal hair color for pale skin and blue eyes. If your hair was white blonde as a child, then this color will suit your fair skin the best. Pale beauties like Gwen Stefani are famous for their platinum locks.
14. Dark Brown
If you want hair colors for light skin that aren’t in the blonde family, try taking your look to the other end of the color spectrum with a rich espresso shade. Dark brown hair may be too intense for cool-toned skin but it’s ideal for those with warmer or more olive-toned skin. The contrast makes skin appear porcelain-like and suits green eyes beautifully.
15. Cool Brown
You’ll want something in the chocolate or mocha family if you’re going to go with a rich brown. If your skin is warm, then a rich brown in cooler tones will give your yellow skin a beautiful, creamy look (think Miranda Kerr). It’s especially stunning if your eyes are blue. Luckily, cool brown is universally flattering on nearly everyone.
16. Warm Ginger Red
Pale babes know that strawberry, amber and rust are some of the best hair colors for light skin. Stars like Jessica Chastain and Emma Stone know how well their cool undertones are complemented by a warm red-like copper shade. You’ll want to mix cool and warm tones in your dye to achieve a creamy color with hints of copper.
17. Rose Gold
This color falls in the red family but it’s unique in its flexibility on skin tone. Rose gold is exceptionally hot right now and a true match for pale skin. From desert rose to peach and coral, the entire spectrum is gorgeous for pale girls. You can choose to balance out your skin tone with opposing undertones in your hair or embrace your tone and go a little monochromatic. The rose gold can bring the pink out in cheeks in a striking way.
18. Pastel
Not everyone wants to keep their hair within the natural shades most people are born with. If you’re looking for a playful color but have pale skin, avoid deep jewel tones that will look too harsh on pale skin. Unicorn colors in pastels will suit fair skin best. Lavender tones are ideal for warm skin tones and light rose complement cool skin tones in a beautiful, dramatic way.
19. Burgundy
Just as a rich espresso can contrast beautifully with pale skin, so can a deep burgundy hair color. If your skin is olive and especially if your eye color is green, a burgundy plum is a lovely pale skin hair option. As with any dye job, there is some upkeep required to prevent any brassy fade but it’s worth it if you’re willing to keep up with your burgundy hair!
20. Orange Copper
This eye-popping tangerine hue seems to have been specially created for girls who have green eyes and pale skin with neutral undertones. Vibrant and fresh, this color doesn’t outpower the skin color, creating a perfect balance. However, if your skin is more about coolness, opt for darker shades from the red palette, such as cherry or apple.
Fortunately, there are plenty of options in hair color for pale skin. Fair skin can often act as a neutral background for a variety of colors and any color can be adapted to pale skin as long as the undertones are complemented. There are more trendy color choices than there have ever been before, and you can choose shades ranging from platinum blonde to red, ashy brown and espresso, the variety is endless!
