I have that very Irish pale skin color and greenish grey color eyes. I also have light freckles on my face. I'm a natural blonde and I dyed my hair a chocolate brown back in October of 2011. Should I switch my color or keep it? What would look best with my features to not wash me out so much?

You should read "Reinvent Yourself With Color Me Beautiful". You find out what colors to wear by finding out your season (there are 4 of them and each one has a unique set of colors that look best for them). It also has the best hair colors for each season. You decide your season by whether you are warm or cool, and if you are light or deep. You should see if your library has that book.



If you have warm coloring and light hair, you are a Spring and should wear light, warm colors, such as peach, light orange, clear red, mint, warm yellow green, ivory, and salmon. Wear gold jewelry. Avoid pink, black, and pure white. Very dark colors are not for you. Springs should never dye their hair a dark color or a cool color.



If you have warm coloring and dark hair, you are a Autumn and should wear deep, warm colors, such as browns, cream, orange, marigold, moss green, and tomato red. Wear gold jewelry. Avoid pink, gray, black, and pure white. Autumns should never dye their hair a light color or a cool color.



If you have cool coloring and light hair, you are a Summer and should wear light, cool colors, such as pastels, grays, any shade of blue from light blue to medium blue, soft white, pink, and gray blue. Wear silver jewelry. Avoid orange, black, and white. Don't wear bright, bold colors. A Summer should never dye their hair a dark color or a warm color.



If you have cool coloring and dark hair, you are a Winter and can wear black and white and still look great. Other great colors would be bright, bold colors, such as hot pink, red, Chinese blue, emerald green, gray, and icy pink. Wear silver jewelry. Avoid brown and orange. Pastels are not your best colors. A Winter should never dye their hair a light color or a warm color.

I;m really pale too, and in summer my freckles come out.. I've been every colour (yes, green, blue, yellow, red, brown, blond, white, grey.. all except black) Most colours suited me, but I prefer either dirty blondes or light chocolate browns :)

You could check out Google Images for "hair colors for pale skin and green eyes," and see if anything is right for you. Or maybe upload your snapshot and test different hair colors on your face.



Here's a video about trying hair colors online, on your photo:

It also has a wizard mode, where you can select things like skin tone (pale or ruddy), green eyes, facial shape, any hair conditions, glasses y/n, etc, and it'll find the most suitable hair colors and styles to try on.

I think chocolate brown is perfect but If you want a change, maybe get highlights instead of dying it all

Maybe a dirty blonde color?

Oh my goodness. I love pale skin with freckles and red hair and green eyes. That's how my mama looked when she was a teenager. I think its so pretty!!! You don't see many red heads anymore and if your hair naturally has red in it I would lean toward that! Dark colors sometimes make you look Gothic looking when you have really pale skin. If you do choose a brown I would stick with a light/med brown.

red ( not fire red but like a darkish red) looks great with pale skin which has freckles and makes green eyes look greener since red makes the green colour pop out :) or else black like amy lee ( but she has blue eyes and itll look a bit gothic) maybe a dirty blonde? but id say red
