Hair Color For Red Skin. Wondering which red hair color is best for you? Pickthorn agrees, adding that those with warm, peachy complexions will also see their skin pop with cooler, auburn reds.

When choosing a hair color to flatter your skin's undertone, the old rule of thumb is to match cool shades with cool skin tones and warm shades with warm skin tones, so if you have a medium skin tone and want to go red, there are a whole range of choices between golden copper and cool auburn.

Before taking your pick of hair colors, you need to id your skin's undertones. Bluish red or something close to violet looks nice for your complexion. A black root gives a confident contrast to sharply lighter ends. It looks natural and with hints of red and gold, it's easily one of the best hair colors for dark skin of all hues.
