So some redheads can wear some colors which look terrible on other redheads and vice versa. My 2 brothers have darker red hair with brown eyes, and they look great in earthy brown, while I have lighter red, pale skin and blue/green/grey eyes and I just love my green, especially emerald green - I think it's looks amazing with red hair and brings out the color in my eyes. I also love grey, reds and pinks and blues(especially pale), but orange and yellow are both definite NO-NOs - they just clash horribly.
The debate about whether redheads can wear purple or not doesn't concern me because I think purple is a hideous color and wouldn't go near it anyway! Lastly, black is fantastic because your red hair is the only accessory you need to wear with it (I read that in a FashionQ mag).

I am a natural redhead. I find that blue and green always look could on me and really bring out my blue-green eyes. Maybe these colors will do the same for you?

I am not exactly sure how to describe my hair color. The best bet is copper, though it is new penny copper, not as brown as an old penny. The colors that work for me are black, hunter green, and navy. Colors that don't work for me are pink, yellow, red, orange, and white or ivory. Stay away from pastels if at all possible!! Basically, warm colors are bad. Cooler colors are good. My eyes, for what it's worth, are blue/green/grey.

Hairdressers have called my hair ginger, dark strawberry blond or light auburn. I have light green eyes with gold flecks. They tend to turn blue with golden brown eye shadows. I find that denim blue, soft white, light gold, soft greens,sea foams, and teals look the most elegant and noticeable. For the most modern look try Bobbi Brown's Camel eyeshadow with Bone, natural bronzer with a pop of pale pink blush and Malt shimmer lipstick with Petal lip gloss. This is a look that was especially made for me by one of the nationals and is very unique. Otherwise, for a red mouth try Benefit's In the nude lipstick.

Lay your head or hair next to the color shown on the flap of the box. Then, ask two other customers which color matches your hair the best. So far, their objectiveness has helped me when I am trying to decide on the color that's closest to my own natural color.

I have red hair with 3 different tones from dark to light. I find cream colors as well as green and light blue work well. I thought black did as well but may have think about it, allthough I seem to receive compliments when wearing black.

I have light auburn hair and green/hazel eyes. I always have found that my hair and eyes stand out best against an army fatigue green. Dark brown is also fantastic -- hair stands out against it in a way that informs the world that it is most definitely not brown.

A redhead doesn't look good in purple. Dark hair seems to be the only one that can pull off wearing purple. Unless it's a light purple, then it tends to look OK on a redhead. Pinks normally look good on a blonde, and dark reds look great on a brunette! The dark colors (navy, black) can look good on pretty much anyone, depending on what they're wearing it with. Light blues look really good on a blonde and a redhead.

I have medium to light brown eyes. I have dark brown hair and frequently highlight with a deep red (with a very slight purple tint). My skin is a medium shade. I find that deeply saturated dark blue with a hint of green clothing, really compliments my hair. Hunter green does wonders as far as shirts are concerned. Stay away from clashing shades of red, saturated oranges and greys. Good luck, and always experiment.

Natural colors look fantastic on a redhead (like brown, gold, and copper). Redheads look best in colors. Bright colors highlight the amazing color of their hair.

I have dark, red hair and green eyes. I have a light, fake tan. Creamy foundation makes my skin look great. Bright green eye shadow, plenty of black kohl, and a very simple and clear lip gloss looks quite striking on me. For more subtle eyes, I'd go for a pale gold and neutrals. Peachy lip gloss and blusher looks best. Clothes - mainly monochrome. Dark greens, khaki's and even bright peach and orange-red looks good, too. Pastels and any blue and purple tones look particularly vile! I prefer the Jessica and Arial look to the Annie and early Nicole look.

on 1/31/2006 The color fuchsia looks awesome on redheads! And it's a popular color right now.

on 1/16/2006 I'm a redhead, and the colors that suit me are earthy colors! Such as green, brown, orange, (yellowish) Emerald, Aqua etc.
Redheads should where these colors, as they suit the color of your hair. And most redheads are pale, so it warms up your skin tone!
