Best colors for red hair

Red and copper hair is warm, so colors that echo or balance it work best: forest green, teal, olive, cream, camel and navy. Bright reds, oranges and hot pinks tend to compete with the hair instead of flattering it.

Colors to skip

Green in any depth is the classic match.
Navy is a softer alternative to black.
Warm neutrals (cream, camel, chocolate) keep the hair the star.
