Embracing Gray With Style
Going gray doesn't mean you have to give up a beautiful color or recede quietly into the distance. There's a hair color for everyone that will complement your face, bring out your natural coloring and help you look trendy and chic. From concealing grays to embracing them, these 20 hair colors will inspire you to make your hair feel healthy and full of life.
1. Silver Blonde
Light silver blonde helps enhance your natural gray hair and provides a soft shine that looks sophisticated and fresh. This color is great if you already have some white hairs or light grays in your hair. Silver blonde washes your hair in a way that adds a youthful glow without covering up the beauty of your natural gray hair.
2. Warm Caramel
Golden warm caramel helps give your hair a golden tint that seamlessly transitions between your dark roots and gray hairs. By adding this caramel tone to your hair color you will notice that it adds warmth to your complexion and your hair will have more dimension. Golden warm caramel will help brighten up your face even when there is low lighting.

3. Ash Brown
Cool ash brown is great for canceling out any yellow or brassy tones in your gray hair while keeping your hair looking natural and chic. Ash brown has cool-toned undertones that will help keep your hair from becoming brassy when your gray starts to grow in. It blends beautifully to give you a subtle hair color that looks like you’ve lived with it awhile.
4. Honey Blonde
Honey blonde will help you achieve a bright and cheery blonde that doesn’t overwhelm your gray hair. Honey blonde has warm-toned undertones that will help add depth to your hair color. It is a friendly hair color that will go well with your skin whether you have a neutral skin tone or a warmer skin tone.

Smoky lavender is a fun way to dip your toe into hair color while embracing your gray hair. Purple has become a trend lately and this hair color is subtle enough that you can pull it off every day. It adds a little something special to your hair by giving your hair some dimension and a modern softness that compliments your silver hair.
6. Chocolate Brown
Chocolate brown is rich and deep that can help your graying hair look very polished and healthy.

This is great for someone who wants a low maintenance style that will still look like you spent time with it.

If you want to rock your gray and stand out try this icy platinum hair color. Not only will platinum help blend in your gray hairs but it also adds some drama and gives your hair a luminous glow. You’ll feel like a celebrity with this bold and chic hair color.
8. Rose Gold
Rose gold is a beautiful warm tone that will give you a soft and youthful glow. It goes great with white or silver hair because the pink tone that this hair color offers will help soften your facial features. If you want a fun hair color that isn’t over the top this is the color for you.
9. Caramel Balayage
Balayage is a fabulous way to give your gray hair some sun-kissed dimension that looks like you spent hours at the salon. By adding soft highlights to your natural gray color you can help decrease any heavy contrast. This technique is great because it will add some bounce and life to your hair.
10. Soft Copper
A soft copper will help bring some warmth to your gray hair without being too drastic. Copper has reddish-orange undertones that will help add brightness to your complexion and make your gray hairs seem more purposeful. Copper is great for when you want that warm “wow” factor without going all out.
11. Icy Blue
Spruce up your gray with some icy blue! This cool-toned hair color is subtle enough that you can pull it off every day but still gives your hair some edge. Blue works really well with shorter hair styles or hairstyles with layers because the light can hit every strand.
12. Sandy Blonde
Sandy blonde is a creamy neutral shade that will blend into your gray hairs with ease. Because sandy blonde has golden undertones it won’t wash out your hair like many blonde shades do. It helps give your hair a sun-kissed vibe that looks very put together.
13. Mahogany
Mahogany is a deep rich hair color that helps your gray pop without looking too crazy. This gorgeous red-toned brown helps add some warmth to your skin and can help your hair look luxurious. Mahogany is the perfect hair color if you want something bold but not too out there.
14. Champagne Blonde
Champagne blonde is a soft beautiful color that compliments gray hair. It has a pale yellow and beige hue to it that helps enhance any natural highlights you may have. This hair color is subtle but catching you’ll feel fresh and timeless.
15. Platinum Brown
If you’re looking for something dark and something light then I recommend platinum brown. This unique hair color combines both colors to help give your hair some depth while softening your gray hairs. Platinum brown is perfect for anyone who wants to update their hair while keeping a natural look.
16. Soft Pink
Pink is such a fun color and it really looks great with gray or silver hair. This soft shade of pink is subtle but cute and will help you step up your hair game. If you want to add some color to your hair but don’t want to go crazy this is the color for you.
17. Beige Blonde
Beige blonde isn’t a hair color that you think about often but trust me when I say it is gorgeous on gray hair. Because it is so dull it helps balance out warm and cool toned skin tones. When you wear beige blonde you’ll find that it gives you a soft and natural finish.
18. Cool Espresso
Espresso is a great way to help enhance your gray hairs by giving your hair some depth and richness. When you add this dark shade to your hair it helps your gray stand out without distracting from your facial features. It’s perfect for when you want a sleek and professional look.
19. Lilac Gray
Who says you can only rock solid gray hair? By mixing lilac with your natural gray color you will be left with a soft purple-gray that is very trendy right now. If you want to add some personality to your hair color but keep it subtle then this is the color you’ve been looking for.
20. Golden Brown
Golden brown helps bring some sunshine into your life by adding warmth and some shine to your gray hair. When you add golden undertones to your hair it helps draw attention to your hair’s natural texture. You’ll love how versatile this hair color is because it can be worn for both casual and formal occasions.
