While, as you can see, there are so many factors to keep in mind when choosing a color to wear, we thought we’d tailor a story just for our raven-haired readers. So whether you’re looking to expand your selection of neutrals, brights, or both, continue to see and shop the most flattering colors for you.

Lilac

Last up is the conveniently on-trend lilac, which is in the same family as lavender and light purple. As seen on Shiona Turini, lilac, with its mix of warm and cool tones, is the perfect complement to dark hair,
