I’ll suggest the best hair dye colours to enhance your blue eyes.
What hair colour suits very fair skin and blue eyes?
If you have porcelain skin, blue or light grey eyes and naturally blonde or very light brown hair, this combination is delicate and luminous. But it requires thoughtful colour choices to avoid hardening your features or making you look washed out.
Hair colours to choose:
- Baby blonde or champagne
- Light golden or copper brown
- Soft reds like Venetian blonde or golden red
- Golden or copper highlights
Recommended examples

Colours to avoid:
- Cool or ashy tones
- Shades that are too dark or intense
- Purple, red or black hues

My tip: Try soft highlights or gentle balayage to keep your look light and glowing
What hair colour suits fair skin and blue eyes?
You have fair skin and blue or grey-blue eyes, and you’re not sure what colour will enhance your features? I understand. With this skin tone, it’s important to avoid shades that flatten your complexion or overpower your eyes.
Hair colours to choose if your hair is light:
- Golden blonde, copper blonde or champagne
- Light ash or golden reflections
- Slightly darker tones or natural ombré
- Copper reds or Venetian blondes to enhance blue eyes
If your hair is dark:
- Brown with golden or copper tones
- Soft warm blondes or reds
- Icy brown or cool chocolate for contrast
If you have grey-blue eyes:
- Polar blonde or silver streaks
- Icy brown shades
- Dark bases with ash highlights
Example colour suggestions
Left to right: 8.00 Moonstone Light Blonde (Prodigy Blondes), 5.30 Bronze Light Golden Brown (Prodigy Brown), 3.00 Dark Brown (Excellence Crème Brunettes/Blacks)
Colours to avoid:
- Yellowish or overly golden tones
- Cool purples or reds
- Dark brown if your hair is very light
My tip: A light balayage or golden highlight might be all you need to revive your colour and make your eyes shine
What hair colour suits redhead skin and blue eyes?
Do you have very fair skin with freckles, blue or green eyes, and natural copper or golden red hair? You can refresh your colour without losing your natural glow.
Hair colours to choose:
- Tone-on-tone shades (no intense reflections)
- Light red tones: golden copper blonde, Venetian blonde
- Stronger reds: Irish red, deep auburn
- Rich golden or copper highlights
- Subtle plum or red streaks
Example colour suggestions

Colours to avoid:
- Very dark shades like black or dark brown
- Platinum or ultra-light blonde
- Cool tones like ash, blue or violet
My tip: Keep your colour soft. Warm, natural reflections brighten blue eyes while staying true to your skin tone
What hair colour suits medium or golden skin and blue eyes?
Do you have golden or tanned skin and light eyes (blue, grey or green)? Let’s balance your warm complexion and bright eyes with shades that bring out both.
Hair colours to choose:
- Deep tones with golden, copper or burgundy highlights
- Medium to dark chestnut
- Golden blonde balayage if you’re light brown
- Copper or soft red touches to warm up your look
Example colour suggestions
Left to right: 4.00 Deep Chestnut (Préférence Mousse Absolue), 4.03 Radiant Chestnut (Excellence Crème), 5.35 Chocolate (Casting Crème Gloss)
Colours to avoid:
- Harsh blonde streaks on dark hair
- Cool ash tones that dull your complexion
- Icy violet or purple hues
My tip: Unsure where to start? Go for soft caramel or golden balayage. It enhances your skin tone and makes your blue eyes stand out without a full transformation
