3. Neutral Blonde

If you boast green eyes and a naturally light base, consider neutral blonde hair colors for a balanced look. They complement the cool skin tones without overpowering them, allowing your eyes to remain the focal point. Freehand painting technique will ensure a custom color that’s uniquely you.

4. Auburn Cinnamon Shade

If your veins appear greenish and if gold jewelry and warm colors, like yellow or orange, complement your complexion, you have a warm skin tone. As green and red shades sit opposite each other on the color wheel, reddish tones can contrast olive eyes, creating a bold statement. Take an example from this look crafted by colorists at Prive by Balmain Hair Couture Salon that went for a rich auburn hair shade to accentuate green eyes.
