    I'm pretty pale too. (don't let my tan profile pictures from summer confuse you, there's pale ones in there somewhere). And I think dark is totally an option. (biased?) If you don't want to do straight red maybe a dark auburn? Or a red toned brown-black? If you're thinking lighter maybe a strawberry blonde? I think the red profile is good but maybe just not straight red.

    I think dark brown, almost black, looks beautiful on a girl with pale skin

    I always go brown with a hint of red ;)

    I agree. I think darker looks better on pale skin. Very shocking (in a good way) contrast.

    I have pale pink skin as well with dark blonde hair. At the moment it is dyed a dark chestnutty brown which works really well and stops me looking as pink. Also Dark red will suit your skin tones. I find the blonder I go the pinker I look lol... even though my hair was white blonde when I was younger :)

    I could have written this!

    I'm fair and was a very pale blonde growing up. I went to a dark warm brunette (with red/warm undertones) about 5 years ago (L'Oreal Preference #5 Medium Brown) and I get compliments all the time. I always felt washed out with pale skin and blonde hair. (I do have to color my eyebrows to match my hair now.) I LOVE my current color and will never go back to blonde. It looks so healthy and reflects light.

    Reds can be difficult as the pigment washes out and fades very easily.

    Stay away from colors with "ash" undertones, as they appear flat and drab with our pale skin.

    Whatever you do, have fun with it! :wink:

    I am extremely pale with brown hair. i currently have some lighter highlights in it and i like it. i used to color my hair really close to black for years and i loved it. I found it strikingly pretty especially with red lips. i just don't wanna go to the hassle of getting my roots done all the time so i'm going to stick to my natural hair color for a while. But i wanna try a reddish color someday!

    I think you'd look good with a dark brown. You'd probably look a lot like Björk (when she was younger).

    i think dark brown goes great with pale skin! i have dark hair and pale skin and i really like the contrast! it might be too much of a contrast for some though! i think red would go great too! actually i think any color can go well with pale skin! pale skin is soooo rare these days...it seems like everyone wants to be tan! rock your pale skin and be proud of it!:D

    Anything really since it'll be a contrast to your skin, I guess maybe not bleach blonde...

    I'm a natural redhead and with my super pale skin I look bad in red. Brings out the pink in me and I look like Miss Piggy. You definitely need warm colours, cold doesn't look good with snow white skin, so whatever you decide on, break it with some warm gold/honey highlights.

    Auburn or Bronze underneath something that isn't straight red but has reddish tones in it and will make your face look warm. And gold platinum or a warmer platinum on top would look cool.
