Some of the gorgeous hair colors for dark skin are entirely non-traditional—but they look completely natural. This beautiful woman appears to be a misplaced mermaid with those stunning green ‘locs of hers. Get it, girl.

Twist Braids for Black Women

18. Peacock Purple

Purple weaves with royal blue, subdued plum, and a little bit of burgundy in the undertones. The mix is majestic—slay, queen!

19. Candy Coated

Caramel really is an excellent hair color for dark skin. This is brighter, a bit brassy, and that makes it shine. Check out how it blends with her skin. The combination is flawless.

21. Toasted Ombre

The color on the ends of her curls is just everything. It stands out like a sunset against her milk chocolate skin and the pitch dark roots of her hair. This girl is a goddess, and she knows it.

22. Gone Gray

A stunning, silvery shade is ideal for nearly any skin tone, but it sparkles with a particular brilliance against warm skin with golden undertones. The upkeep takes a minute, but gray hair will always be worth it.

Best Sew In Hairstyles for Black Women

23. Blue Violet

Oh, those purple hues. They are unquestionably among the best hair colors for dark skin. Purple is so royal, after all, and this woman indisputably regal.

24. Almost Red

A little auburn, a bit orange, all fabulous—that’s the formula for this look. It’s not really ombre, but do note the darker roots. That’s always a sign of easy maintenance, and we love easy color upkeep.

25. Blonde Bombshell

This half-and-half hair is fantabulous. The curls add to the glam factor (her gorgeous red lips don’t hurt, either), but it’s really the contrast between blonde and brunette that makes this color combo a stunning one.

26. Deep Green

This shade of green is a beautiful hair color for dark skin, especially when it’s interwoven through dark hair. It’s ethereal, particularly with all those curls. Sigh … we’re in love.
