Finding the Perfect Palette for Redheads
Choosing the right colors to wear can be tricky for anyone, but redheads often find themselves facing a unique set of challenges. The key is understanding your undertones. These are the subtle hues beneath your skin’s surface that determine which colors will truly flatter you.
Warm vs. Cool Undertones
Redheads generally fall into two categories: warm and cool undertones.
- Warm Undertones: If your skin has a golden, peachy, or yellow hue, you likely have warm undertones. Freckles, especially those with a golden tint, are another telltale sign.
- Cool Undertones: If you see hints of pink, blue, or olive in your skin, you likely have cool undertones.

The Best Colors for Redheads with Warm Undertones
Warm undertones sing when paired with earthy, rich colors that enhance the natural warmth of your hair and skin.
- Greens: Think deep forest greens, emerald, olive, and khaki. These shades create a stunning contrast against your red hair.
- Browns: Chocolate brown, rust, burnt orange, and terracotta beautifully complement the warmth in your complexion.
- Blues: Opt for warmer blues like teal, aqua, or cerulean.
- Reds: Yes, redheads can wear red! Choose shades like brick red, rust, or tomato red that have an earthy undertone.
- Golds: Gold is a winning metallic for warm redheads, adding a touch of luxury to any look.
Expert Tip from Lan Anh Nguyen, Color Consultant: “Don’t be afraid to experiment with different shades within a color family. What looks best on you will depend on the intensity of your red hair and your individual skin tone.”
The Best Colors for Redheads with Cool Undertones
Cool-toned redheads shine in colors that have a similar cool undertone.
- Blues: Deep blues like navy, royal blue, and sapphire are particularly striking.
- Greens: Emerald green, teal, and jade green create a stunning contrast.
- Purples: Lavender, lilac, and amethyst beautifully complement cool red hair.
- Pinks: Rose pink, blush pink, and mauve are flattering choices.
- Silvers: Silver is a great metallic option for cool-toned redheads, adding a touch of elegance.

Colors to Avoid (But Rules Are Meant to Be Broken!)
While these are guidelines, remember that fashion is about expressing yourself! If you love a color that’s not typically recommended for your undertone, don’t be afraid to rock it. Here are a few tips for incorporating “non-traditional” colors:
- Black and White: While classic, black and white can wash out some redheads. If you love these shades, try pairing them with a bold lip color or accessories that complement your undertones. For instance, a black dress can be instantly elevated with a vibrant emerald green scarf.
- Neons: Neon colors can overpower fair skin and red hair. If you’re drawn to bright colors, choose more muted or jewel-toned versions.
Beyond Clothing: Makeup and Accessories for Redheads
