Fifty shades of Grey: For Redheads Only

Grey and silver color is generally not recommended for redheads. But looking at this gorgeous Redhead below, don't you disagree? 
When you mix black and white, you will get grey. Depending on the amount of black (or white), shades of gray range from soft gainsboro to dark and dramatic slate grey. However, some redheads looks great in grey, and some just disappear in the mass of soft grayness and fade to the background. So how do you wear gray, if you are a Redhead?
Everything depends on your coloring. Are you Warm or Cool? "If your dominant characteristic is Warm it means you have an all-over glow to your coloring. With obvious warm and earthy undertones to your hair, eyes and skin. The majority of classic red-heads fall within this group," says The Chic Fashionista. If you are Cool,  it means you have an all-over cool look to your coloring. You may appear deep but what sets you apart from the dark-haired (Deep) is your softened, grayish undertones." If you don't know, you can take the Gold or Silver test.
Generally, Autumn and Spring coloring is considered Warm and Winter or Summer is considered Cool. And if you are guessing that grey is a cool color and Cool colored Redheads will look stunning in grey, you are absolutely right.
Cool Redheads (imagine Kate Middleton with reddish hair) can wear absolutely any shade of gray, from light grey, medium grey, dark grey, charcoal to taupe.


Warmer Redheads, such as Drew Barrymore or Isla Fisher should stick to light gray or charcoal. The rest of us Redheads can pull off only one shade of grey, stone.

How do you feel about fifty shades of Grey on Redheads?

XOXO, 
The European Redhead
