If you’re looking to change up your color this season, it can be tough to decide with so many choices out there! Before you choose a basic shade of blonde, brown or even bronde try a surprising pop of color with plum hair color. This juicy color is fantastic because it comes in any shade or depth imaginable and can compliment any skin tone or eye color. All you have to do is decide which one is for you!
It’s important to remember to choose complementing colors, it’s best when they contrast. When you’re shopping around for that plum hair dye keep your eye and skin color in mind.
For blue eyes, you’ll want a shade of plum with warm undertones to complement that icy cool gaze. Hazel eyes are pretty lucky since it gives you the ability to choose from a variety of lush plums; it’s best to work with your skin tone. Warm up brown or dark brown eyes with cool undertones in the blue and purple family.
Now that you’ve got an idea of what to work with when it comes to choosing the right shade — we’ll highlight twenty different shades of plum so you can find one that works for you!
The best way to refresh your brunette hair is to apply highlights. We recommend picking one of those trendy eggplant plum dyes, extremely popular these days. A plum hue perfectly emphasizes darker hair and spices up delicately the whole look.

A deep dark plum hair color looks gorgeous on itself, but reddish hues make it even more intense and magnetic! Consider burgundy shade goes well with hair of any length and texture; thus, you may pair it with any hairstyle — from a short blunt bob to a long, wavy layered cut.
@hairgoeschels
Women with a fair complexion usually avoid bright hair colors, fearing they might look ridiculous. However, with this shade of plum, you will look absolutely stunning! It complements lighter skin tones and creates a style impossible to tear yourself away from.

The vibrant plum purple with bluish is not for the shy or modest! It’s best if your skin is cool-toned to complement your look appropriately. If this bright color is for you, then grab the purple hair dye and give it a go!

Shorter hair can be a great canvas for your experiments and this plum brown hair color has definitely proved to be a successful one. You can dye the whole mane in a single tone or ask for highlights — it will look fabulous either way!
@ahappyjustin
This pretty take on plum relies on the cool undertones already present in black hair. Add cooler plum highlights for a sleek and eye-catching look. Black hair is best on olive skin, but you can try this style for fair skin tones as well.
@bre_does_beauty
A mix of plum and brown is probably not the most common solution, but definitely one of the most delightful ones. Opt for warm tones of plum to accentuate your complexion and make your brown base more dimensional.
@beautybyambersalinas
We love the idea of enhancing brown hair with a hint of cool tones of plum. The seamless blend of rich plum and burgundy highlights will add a flattering shiny finish to your dark locks, making the color deep and multidimensional.
@behindtherosychair
It might be really challenging to choose one shade among dozens of mesmerizing plum hues, but why not mix some of them? For example, light plum ideally matches golden pink and brown hues.

If you strive for this fantastic raspberry plum hair color, you’d better make an appointment with a professional colorist. Be aware this hue might be hard to maintain, as it may be washed out with time, but with the right shampoo and conditioner, you will enjoy the result for a long!
@josh.does.hair
Waist-length hair owners know how challenging it can be to take care of such a long hairstyle, especially with dyed locks. Yet, it doesn’t mean you can’t go for rich plum hair colors. Just wash your hair with a toning shampoo to achieve this classic plum shade that is never out of fashion!
@joys_secrets
Classy yet catchy, this ombre will definitely suit women of all ages! To emphasize the texture and dimension of your colored hair, curl your chocolate plum locks and slightly tousle them with your hands.

Plum hair goes well with red, pink, blue, violet, and purple tones, but why not mix a couple of them in one hairstyle? The results will surely exceed your expectations, as you get a plum burgundy hair color worthy of admiration!

This dark plum hair color is perfect if your hair is already brown. Add plum with warmer undertones for a perfect color update.

A beautiful contrast for fair skin is a deep plum color with red hue. If you have green eyes, then ask your stylist for this lovely shade.
@hairbyangelaalberici
Add some vegetable to your fruit-inspired hair color with a pretty eggplant plum color. This look has both dark and light colors, but the dark base stabilizes the look and is perfect for fair skin with pink undertones.
@lemo1993
Plum ombre hair is a stunning way to incorporate plum color into your already beautiful dark hair color. It’s pretty tricky for a blonde to rock a subtle ombre but brunettes can do this with ease. Try out this dark plum brown hair when you book your next appointment at the salon.
@colorbylilly
Rose-toned hair is totally hot right now, but you can keep it in the plum family by maintaining the purple undertones instead of red ones. This rose plum is multi-dimensional and can suit dark and cool-toned skin. Hazel eyes suit it best, but truthfully, any eye color can rock a fresh rose plum.
@ginaatkinson
Stay on trend yet again with this light plum perfect take on gray! Dark eyes shine with gray plum hair and warm-olive skin tones act as a great base for this color.
@hairby_yami
Plum has never looked so subtle than in a chocolate tone. Give any rich brown hair tonesan edge with touches of lavender highlights painted on. Chocolate plum is great for brown or green eyes.
@elyserox00
Keep your plum natural with a beautiful balayage paint job. Ideal on dark hair, especially black. If your eyes are blue, you’re sure to wow. However, any combination of plum and your natural color can be created with a beautiful balayage. Work with your stylist on this one!
@glamiris
This frosty color looks especially fashionable this season. You may want to steer clear if you have pink undertones. Icy plum is very fresh and on trend these days!

Like the electric plum, magenta or fuschia hair color is not for the faint hearted! If you prefer more pink in your plum and aren’t afraid to go bold, then magenta is for you! It’s perfect for warm skin and makes blue or hazel eyes pop.
@annabiancahair
