Gray Hair Color for Your Skintone

Gray hair color for medium skintones
You have more versatility here. Creamy white or steely gray tones in your hair are beautiful. If you’re not 100 percent gray and much of your hair is dark, go more dramatic with bright silver tones. People with red undertones in their skin shouldn’t opt for an extremely white hue as it will bring out this red even more.

Gray hair color for dark skintones
If you have darker skintones, you can pull off a blond salt-and-pepper look by adding some dark lowlights with brighter white pieces around the face. Be cautious of yellow though as this shade can make your skin look drab and unhealthy.

Celebrities with gray Hair
Naturally gray hair can be aging, that's why most celebrities who go gray enhance it with some cooler or warmer tones. Think of light skin stars like Meryl Streep, Judy Dench and Helen Mirren who look fabulous with gray hair. Jamie Lee Curtis, Emmylou Harris and Stacy London can pull off a warmer gray because of their richer skintone. And Ruby Dee looks amazing with her dark gray strands combined with her dark skintone.

“Gray can be beautiful and striking,” said Bogart. “The hard thing is growing in natural gray after having colored for years. However, it is a high-fashion shade so if you have the confidence, go for it!”
