The right hair color can be the difference between making your brown eyes pop and making them seem terribly dull. In the perfect world, we would be able to just pick any color and look great with it.

It is a good contradiction of color to have dark brown eyes with light skin. This combination works best with cool colors, so stick with the natural palette; only change the color of the hair one or two colors from your natural color on the color wheel. You can also use the same colors in the light brown eyes and light skin recommendations, which are between medium brown and light blonde. If choosing a two-tone color job, go with lowlights instead of highlights.
