Rich, golden blonde hair color is the gold standard for people with warm undertones. It brings blue, green and hazel eyes alive, and looks especially elegant when it’s streaked with buttery warm highlights.

Rose gold is a mixture of pink and peach. If your skin is cool, your rose gold hair color should carry more pink in the formula. If your skin is warm, your rose gold should be more on the warm peach side. Avoid rose gold if you have a ruddy complexion.
Best for: light warm skin tones
This warm, reddish blonde hair color is one of the most striking blonde hair color shades. It comes in a wide range of options, from golden blonde with a touch of red to the opposite end of the spectrum—shimmering, golden red.

Just like it sounds, bronde hair is in-between brown hair color and blonde hair color. It’s one of the most versatile hair color shades there is, because you can blend any shades of brown and blonde to achieve the look. So if your complexion is warm, use warm brown and blonde hair color, and vice versa if your skin tone is cool. Typically, bronde hair combines a light brown base hair color with blonde balayage highlights.
Best for: light or medium, cool skin tones
With its icy whiteness, platinum blonde hair color brings the drama. It creates energizing contrast with your cool skin and makes your eyes truly pop. Perfect your cat-eye, smoky eye and red lip if you opt for platinum blonde hair color, because wearing little-to-no makeup can make you look washed out.

Look closely at a pearl and you’ll see subtle swirls of pale pink and blue within an alabaster base. So it stands to reason that the same skin tones that come alive with blue blonde or pastel pink blonde would be excellent choices for a pearl blonde hair color.
