Shades to try, family by family
Every shade here is in the hair color simulator. Tap one to jump to the tool, then pick the same name in the Hair Color row.
Browns
Easy to wear and to grow out. Chestnut and caramel add warmth; deep chocolate adds richness without drama.

Reds & coppers
Bright copper, deep auburn, cherry and wine. Reds tend to fade faster, so choose one you'd enjoy refreshing.

Black
Glossy jet black gives strong contrast and a sleek finish. On fair skin, check it in the hair color simulator first — the contrast is bigger than a swatch suggests.

Gray & silver
Silver, steel and white — for blending natural grays or making a statement.

Pastels & vivid
Pink, lavender, rose gold, purple, teal and electric blue — easier to choose once the hair color simulator shows them on you.

Skin tone
Choosing a hair color for your skin tone
Undertone — the hue beneath your skin's surface — matters more than how light or deep your skin is. Check three things in daylight: your wrist veins, whether gold or silver jewelry suits you, and how pure white looks next to your face.
Warm undertone
- How to tell
- Greenish veins, gold jewelry suits you, stark white feels harsh.
- Shades to try
- Honey and golden blonde, caramel, copper, auburn, warm chestnut.
- Test carefully
- Icy and ash shades can wash warm skin out.
Cool undertone
- How to tell
- Blue or purple veins, silver jewelry suits you, pure white looks crisp.
- Shades to try
- Platinum and ash blonde, cool brown, blue-black, burgundy, silver, lavender.
- Test carefully
- Brassy gold and orange tones can clash.
Neutral undertone
- How to tell
- Blue-green veins; gold and silver both work.
- Shades to try
- Most shades: soft brunettes, beige or honey blonde, balayage, muted reds.
- Test carefully
- Extreme shades still deserve a test run in the hair color simulator.
These are starting points, not rules — eye color and brows count too. Unsure? Keep “AI recommended” selected and the hair color simulator suggests a shade for your skin tone.
Going blonde
How would I look blonde?
It's the question behind every “how would I look blonde” filter search, and the answer depends on the blonde. Platinum is cool and high-contrast, honey is softer and warmer, and an ombré keeps darker roots for a gentler change. Try at least two on the same photo in the hair color simulator.
- Check your brows: dark brows with platinum make a strong statement.
- Compare a cool blonde (platinum, ash) with a warm one (honey, strawberry).
- Like it? Save the hair color simulator result and show it to your colorist as the target shade.
Before you dye
Hair color simulator vs. at-home dye test
The hair color simulator and a strand test answer different questions: one shows how a shade looks on you, the other how the dye behaves on your hair. Use both.
What the hair color simulator shows you
- Whether a shade suits your skin, eyes and brows
- How several shades compare on one face
- A clear target to show your colorist
- Nothing to wash out if you hate it
What only a real test shows you
- How the dye lifts or deposits on your current color
- Whether dyed or lightened hair takes it evenly
- How the shade looks after a few washes
- How your skin reacts — follow the product's patch-test instructions
Tips for a useful preview
Use a daylight photo; warm indoor light pushes every shade toward orange.
Preview the shade you really want. Big jumps, like dark brown to platinum, usually need lightening — often by a professional.
Save your favorite result to show a stylist or to compare boxes.
Changing the cut too? Find one with the best haircut for my face guide or the hairstyle filter, or try a cut and a color together in the main hair makeover tool.
FAQ
Hair color simulator FAQ
Shades, photos, accuracy and credits in the hair color simulator.
Is this hair color simulator online free?
Browsing shades and uploading a photo cost nothing, and new accounts get free credits for one AI model preview, where an AI model wears the shade instead of you. Recoloring your own photo uses credits, and a failed generation is refunded automatically.
Will the hair color simulator change my haircut or my face?
No. It changes only the color and keeps your cut, styling, face and background. Compare the result with your original using the before/after slider.
How do I know which hair color suits me?
Start with your undertone: warm skin usually suits golden and copper shades, cool skin suits ash, platinum and burgundy. Then try two or three candidates on the same photo. Still torn? Keep “AI recommended” selected and let the hair color simulator suggest a shade.
How would I look blonde if my hair is dark?
In the hair color simulator, compare Platinum Blonde, Honey Blonde and Ash Blonde on your photo, or a Blonde Ombré that keeps darker roots. How many sessions it takes to get there is a question for your colorist.
Can I try highlights, balayage or ombré in the hair color simulator?
Yes. Highlights, Caramel Balayage and Blonde Ombré sit in the Hair Color row next to the solid shades. The preview shows the overall effect; where the lighter pieces actually go on your head is up to your colorist, so bring the result along as a reference.
Can I see how I'd look with gray hair?
Yes. Pick Silver Gray or White in the hair color simulator to preview gray or silver hair, which helps if you're thinking about growing out your natural gray instead of dyeing it. Compare it with your current color on the same photo before you stop dyeing.
Which photo works best in the hair color simulator?
A front-facing daylight photo with your hair clearly visible; JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB. Colored lights and beauty filters skew the shade.
Does the hair color simulator work for men?
Yes — on any photo with visible hair, short or long, from blending grays to a bold platinum.
Can I change my haircut and hair color at the same time?
Not on this page: the hair color simulator keeps your cut so the shade comparison stays fair. To test a new cut and a new color together, use the main hair makeover tool, which has both a hairstyle row and a color row.
Will my real color look exactly like the preview?
Treat the hair color simulator's preview as a target, not a promise: the real result depends on your starting color, past dye or lightening, and the product or colorist. Do a strand test first.
Try the hair color simulator before you book the dye
Upload a selfie and try blonde, copper, black or pastel on your own hair. Your cut, face and background stay exactly as they are.
