Turning 70 is an important milestone, for you as much as your hair! How you choose to wear your hair color in this next phase of life says a lot about you and how you want to approach your latter years.

There is always the option of going gray, but each hue and blend can be different for each woman. Plus, you may not be ready to go fully gray yet, and may enjoy a pop of bold color you’ve never tried before.

Stunning Hair Colors for Women Over 70

The options for hair color are endless, but this article highlights the 17 most popular hair color choices for older women over 70 today. Read on to see which of the best color options out there are meant for you. 

1. Dusty Brown and Gray 

70 years old is often the age that women decide if the gray transition is for them. Letting your hair go completely is one option, but often women end up with a harsh line of demarcation that moves down the hair as it grows out.

For a more transitional hue, try this light brown suffused with autumnal gray undertones. This warm gray works for this hair because of its previously existing warm notes. If your hair is on the cooler side, ask your stylist for gray highlights with icy tones. 

2. Playful Orange Hair

If you’ve never experimented with a shockingly bold color in your life, your 70s may be the perfect time! This vibrant orange hue is super fun, especially on a rounded bob haircut, like this one.

The hue of your orange should be largely dependent on your skin’s undertones. You always want to compliment your skin. Here, embrace the orange if you have golden skin with warm undertones. Skin that is too fair or sallow will turn this orange sour. 

3. Dark Chocolate 

Not everyone is ready to go full gray, and that is more than okay. If maintaining your brunette hair color is your wish, then we say, go for it! This rich chocolate brown color pairs perfectly with warm skin with green undertones. It also works on fair skin with pink undertones.
