Read on to find your perfect shade.

Golden Red
Red hair colors aren't just for the fair-skinned. Golden red, or strawberry red, is a great hair color for olive skin and brings out golden undertones. It has rich copper elements which highlight brown eyes and warm reds and make green eyes pop.



Dark Blue-Red
This hair color is like red velvet cake and works very well with darker skin tones. The darker your skin, the more a purple-red will complement your look. This color works well with skin tones that have cooler undertones, and it brings out green eyes.



Coffee Brown
Pairing olive skin with dark coffee brown hair creates an exotic look which is accentuated by blue or green eyes. The dark hues of this hair color will bring out warmth without dulling your features. It works well with neutral undertones.



Dark Brown with Lighter Highlights
Dark brown is a beautiful hair color for olive skin but can sometimes fall flat instead of adding shine. Add lighter brown highlights to bring in layers of texture and breathe new life into your look. Lighter highlights also keep green undertones from making you look pale.



Electric Blue
Not many people can pull off a great electric blue, but those with olive skin tones can. Warm undertones and dark eyes will bring a playful boldness to the electric blue hair color. Green undertones help to blend with the blue hair, adding continuity to the look.



Cherry Wine
A bold cherry wine or bright burgundy hair color will complement lighter olive skin tones and bring out lighter eye colors. Hazel, light blue, or green eyes will pop when paired with cherry wine hair. Neutral undertones are balanced, and warm undertones are enhanced with this hair color for olive skin.
