The colors to avoid

There are colors that women with gray hair think twice about. It's not the fashion police who are saying this. It's the women who have been there, done that, and didn't like the way they looked at all.

Beige is the number one color women with gray hair feel they absolutely cannot wear. And everything related to beige: ivory, cream, vanilla, off-white, winter white, ecru, sand. Even if you looked great in these shades as a blonde or brunette, they tend to accentuate any yellowing in the hair. Go for crisp white, instead. Sharpen the shade, and you go from blah to bravo!

There are three other color families to be wary of that you’ll find in the book. But these are not hard and fast rules.  I’d rather know the shades you’ve discovered you can’t wear. Visit Café Gray, and tell us.
