If your veins appear bluish in the sun, and silver jewelry and cool colors, like pink or blue, complement you better, you have cool skin that benefits from cool-toned hair colors. Cold brunette is a fantastic shade to emphasize your complexion and make your green eyes pop.

If you are thinking about adding highlights to your black hair, opt for ashy undertones. Ashy highlights add dimension to the cool brunette tones, creating a striking contrast. They beautifully complement blue-green eyes and cool complexions, giving you a chic, contemporary look.

If you boast green eyes and a naturally light base, consider neutral blonde hair colors for a balanced look. They complement the cool skin tones without overpowering them, allowing your eyes to remain the focal point. Freehand painting technique will ensure a custom color that’s uniquely you.

If your veins appear greenish and if gold jewelry and warm colors, like yellow or orange, complement your complexion, you have a warm skin tone. As green and red shades sit opposite each other on the color wheel, reddish tones can contrast olive eyes, creating a bold statement. Take an example from this look crafted by colorists at Prive by Balmain Hair Couture Salon that went for a rich auburn hair shade to accentuate green eyes.

Chestnut is an excellent choice for those with hazel eyes and warm skin tones. This rich, warm brown hue complements the earthy tones in hazel eyes and coordinates with a warm complexion, adding depth and warmth to your overall appearance.

This fiery look by Brazilian colorist Monica Alves from The Art salon proves that copper is a fantastic hair color for those with light green eyes and warm undertones. The vibrant bright reds in copper hair color bring up the green in your eyes and give your warm complexion a soft glow, creating a radiant look that’s sure to draw attention.

If your complexion has a greenish or yellowish undertone and tans easily, you have olive skin. Hair colors like rich auburn, warm chestnut, and deep brown can enhance your features beautifully. These hues look stunning when combined too. For this particular look, mix your natural black hair with pumpkin orange highlights like it did Ashley, the colorist and owner of The Artery.
@aaashleee
Master hair colorist and owner of Bobby Mack & Co Studio, Bobby Mack, picked a flattering neutral brown hue to bring the dark green eyes to focus. The winter balayage he created boasts a rich base color and subtle dimension, all while softly framing the face.

For women who like warm colors and a harmonious contrast of olive skin and blonde hair, Danilo Herbert from Trois Beauté salon offers this stunning multi-dimensional golden blonde hue.It’s high maintenance, true, but the final look is so worth it!

Your complexion is neither very fair nor very dark, with balanced undertones? You’ve got a medium skin tone. It offers remarkable versatility in choosing hair colors and makeup. If you want to create a harmonious contrast with green eyes and enhance the warmth in medium skin, opt for a caramel hair color. It’s a flattering choice for a sun-kissed, natural appearance.
@dougllas
If you are not ready to commit to a roots-to-tips blonde, face-framing blonde highlights are the answer to your prayers. Placing blonde tresses right around your face will lighten up your features and bring out golden flecks in your green eyes, all without the harsh grow-out line. It’s a radiant yet low-maintenance look for both office-appropriate looks and nights out.
@hairhecker
The beauty of this balayage is in seamlessly blending cool and warm tones. The taupe base adds depth, while blonde highlights provide contrast and luminosity. This combination creates a multidimensional and dynamic look, making it a popular choice for those who want to brighten up green eyes.
@vintage_mehmet
Ask yourself if your skin is light in color, burns easily in the sun, and lacks pronounced undertones. If your answer is yes, you have fair or pale skin. As for blonde hair color, lighter shades with deeper, shadow roots enhance green eyes and a fair complexion best. LA-based colorist Meg Mizuno achieved the interplay of various blonde tones to add depth and contrast, resulting in a striking appearance.
@hirohair
If you are torn between blonde and red hair shades, strawberry blonde is a happy medium that successfully marries both stunning hair colors. This warm and delicate hue will create a harmonious look with fair skin, enhancing the natural beauty of green eyes.
@eastonhair
If you think that red hue is a little too much for you, try softer copper-based colors. They carry hints of golden-red and orange undertones and make your natural brown base light up as if it were sunlit. Stylist Sara Botsford from Craft Collective Salon in Denver, Colorado, crafted this beautiful lived-in color to ensure a soft grow-out.
@sarabotsfordhair
If your skin has a sun-kissed, bronzed appearance from sun exposure, you rock a tan complexion. Warm-toned, delicious shades, like caramel, honey, and rich chocolate browns, harmonize with the warm undertones in your skin, making your green eyes pop. The cozy tones of chocolate-brown hair appear particularly appealing on ladies with tan skin tones.
@salt.strands
Honey-toned hair combines the radiance of golden yellow with the more subdued and rich amber-brown hues. This luscious honey balayage creates a natural, sun-kissed effect that suits different skin tones, including warm tan, and it looks exceptional with hazel green eyes.
@monicaalvess_p
The warm undertones in light auburn complement the tan skin while bringing out the green irises. It’s a beautiful combination that creates a natural look that’s both flattering and eye-catching.
@bella.donna.fl
For green eyes and a darker complexion, hair colors like deep burgundy, rich black, and dark espresso brown can create a striking contrast, making your eyes stand out. If you love softer aesthetics, try a bronde or light brown balayage on brunette locks.
@sametcankara_official
Straight dark hair gets a fresh twist with bronze face-framing highlights. Not only do they create dimension on an otherwise plain hairstyle, but they also lend your dark brown mane a sun-kissed glow. These warm-toned ribbons of color perfectly emphasize your fresh tan.
@samuellimahair
Stylist Danilo Herbert from Brazilian Trois Beauté salon seamlessly blended earthy, light brown tones that remind you of an autumn forest. This gradient effect adds depth and definition to the curls, and the glossing service grants the locks an incredible sheen.
@daniloherbert
Freckles add a unique and endearing charm to your appearance, a lovely touch of nature’s artistry that makes each person distinctive. Do you have a medium complexion with freckles? Then hair colors like warm chestnut brown, light brown, and rich caramel can beautifully complement your features.
@yakupcaankarahan
Redhead specialist Erin Blanchard from Denver, Colorado elevated the dark brown mane of her client with delicate yet expressive lived-in copper. This flaming shade is gathering momentum right now and has already been spotted on A-list celebs, from Sydney Sweeney to Emily Ratajkowski.
@erinblanchardhair
If you have green eyes and cool-toned skin with freckles, pick hair colors like cool ash blonde, platinum blonde, and ash brown. They will complement both your cool undertones and freckles, creating a gorgeous look accentuating your natural beauty.
