"The perfect hair color for you

Whatever type of hair color you opt for, choosing the proper range of shadesâwarm or coolâis the key. The right hair color shade will brighten up your hair style . . . and your life.

What is the most basic principle of color theory applied to hair? It's choosing between warm and cool shadesâand with the dizzying variety of hair colors available, choosing can sometimes be confusing. The best way to make pleasing hair color choices is to determine whether natural coloringâhair, eye, and skin tonesâis in the warm or cool range of colors. Answer these questions, or better yet, have your best friend give you her opinion, which is likely to be more accurate:
My eyes are:

* Deep brown or black-brown (Cool)
* Golden brown (Warm)
* Gray blue or dark blue (Cool)
* Green, green blue or turquoise (Warm)
* Hazel with gold or brown flecks (Warm)
* Hazel with white, gray or blue flecks (Cool)

My skin is:

* Very dark brown (Cool)
* Brown with pink undertone (Warm)
* Brown with golden undertone (Warm)
* True olive (most Asians and Latinos) (Cool)
* Medium with no color in cheeks (Cool)
* Medium with faint pink cheeks (Cool)
* Medium with golden undertones (Cool)
* Pale with no color in cheeks (Cool)
* Pale with pink undertones (Cool)
* Pale with peach or gold undertones (Warm)
* Freckled (Warm)
* Ruddy (Warm)
* Brown or bronze when I tan (Cool)
* Golden brown, when I tan (Warm)

My hair color is:

* Blue black (Cool)
* Deepest coffee brown (Cool)
* Medium ash brown (Cool)
* Deep brown with gold or red highlights (Warm)
* Medium golden brown (Cool)
* Red (Warm)
* Strawberry blond (Warm)
* Dishwater blond (Cool)
* Golden blond (Cool)
* Salt and pepper (Cool)
* White (Cool)
* Gray with a yellow cast (Warm)

What were your answers

Did you check mostly cools? If so, your natural tones are in the cool spectrum. Mostly warms? Then you're naturally "warm."
Cool

Naturally cool people should avoid gold, yellow, red and bronze tones, which have a tendency to make you look sallow and drawn. The best hair color shades, depending on your skin tone, are shiny raven-wing blacks, cool ash browns, and cool blondes in shades ranging from mink to platinum and icy white. You're fortunate to be able to wear many exciting "unnatural" colors . . . lipstick reds, burgundies, and orchids, for a more daring look.
Warm

Naturally warm people should avoid blue, violet, white and jet-black hair, which will seem to "wash out" your natural high hair color. Depending on your skin tone and your preference, you'll find that deep chocolate, rich golden browns, auburn, warm gold, red highlights, and golden blond shades enhance your "sunny" look. Hair weaving and hair highlighting are great ways to add warm tones to your hair colorâand natural-looking corals, oranges and reds are dazzling on you!"

It doesn't necessarily tell you what will make it look lighter, only what will complement it, that way you're not doing something that'll make you look sickly.
