Highlighting Gray Hair

Highlight gray hair brindle, a frosting of various shades of brown, and all the shades of auburn from dark auburn to light auburn, if you have hazel eyes and a yellow complexion undertone.

Highlight gray hair in four shades of ash blonde and light ash brown, if you have blue or gray eyes and pink-toned fair skin.

If you have gray mixed with light brown hair and blue or gray eyes, highlight with light golden brown and dark and medium golden blonde. The back of your hairdo should be your natural light brown color with golden highlights.

Colors you wear in clothing have a warm or cool rule:

Cool colors (pink and white skin) are blue, gray, lavender, purple, burgundy, blue-reds, and pinks.

Warm colors for sallow/yellow complexions with hazel or brown and green eyes include orange, rust, tan, orange-red, coral, peach, and browns if your hair is mostly brown. If you have black hair, don't wear brown. Instead wear black and white or navy blue. Highlight black hair with shades of dark auburn. Dark and medium ash blonde highlights on gray hair go well on chestnut hair with only a little gray.

Blue or cool colors look best with eye and complexion color that don't have gold tones. Warm, autumn leaves colors from rust to brown looks great with yellow or golden complexions and brown shades of hair.
