When it comes to hair colour, it looks like we're getting more adventurous. A 2018 report from Mintel showed that 25% of British people who coloured their hair chose non-natural hues, such as pastels and bright colours.

(Blonde is still the most popular shade: 42% of Brits who coloured their hair chose the tone, with 18% of these going platinum. Next comes brown, with 36%, followed by red/ auburn at 17%, with black rounding it up, at 8%.)

We're all for a bold move. But, before you make a call, it's important to check which shades will work best with your skin tone. Browse through and see our reccos for your new look.

1 of 15

For deep skin | Dark brown with cooler ombre effect

Why? Deeper skin tones with cooler undertones are complemented by a rich brown colour that fades into a lighter tone. Skin gets a radiance boost, as well as the striking effect of the lighter gradient.

Actress Naomie Harris' starkly cut bob is a fresh way to style these tones.

For deeper skin with golden undertones | Honey highlights

Why? The warm undertones in deeper skin are flattered by the haphazard placement of honey-toned strands.

Enhancing your colour with this shade means you don't need to alter your look dramatically – but you do get a spark of freshness. Don't worry about highlights being perfectly placed – a more chilled-out feel is a modern take on the look.

For deeper skin with warm undertones | Golden highlights

Why? Warm golden highlights work well with the warm undertones in deeper skin.

Beyonce's honey-coloured blonde is the envy of everyone – but the gentle warmness of the tone is especially flattering on this skin tone.

For tan to deeper skin | Chestnut with cool brown

Why? With a deeper, warm complexion, cool strands can appear striking without washing you out.

Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas' skin looks even more luminous, thanks to a little colour in the hair framing her face.

5 of 15

For olive skin | Jet black

Why? One of the only skin tones that can pull off such a cool colour, due to the amount of warmth in your skin already. The result? A deeper rich looking complexion and stand-out features.

For a cool girl look, finish with a sleek, straightened finish.

For olive skin | Chocolate brown

Why? Not as severe as black, a rich, chocolate-y brown works so well with olive skin as it compliments the tones that you have in your skin – enhancing your natural glow.

Shanina Shaik shows how dark brown hair not only looks glossy, it also works with the natural tones in your complexion and gives a richness to your skin.

For golden skin | Chocolate brown

Why? The yellow undertones in your skin work best with rich, chocolate-y coloured hair. And even better for those with dark brown eyes, as the two shades work in sync to create maximum impact.

Ask your hairdresser for a cool, matte brown and to avoid red hues.

8 of 15

For warm skin | Chestnut brown

Why? Cool tones like chestnut look great on warm skins, as they can soften yellow undertones.

We are obsessed Jenna Coleman's dark chocolate coloured locks. This shade will actually suit most skin tones as it's so rich and delicious.

For warm skin | Copper and caramel

Why? If you sit somewhere between pale and medium skin tones, then this shade will work really well with your complexion. The warmth will work with your peachy skin and help your features to pop.

How delicious is this shade? Actress Debby Ryan has tried every colour from brown to blonde, but this hybrid of caramel and copper is certainly her hue.

For warm skin | Brown and auburn

Why? If this is your skin type and you want to knock off some years, choosing a colour that's one to two levels down from your natural shade will instantly lighten and brighten your face, giving a more youthful glow to your skin.

Actress Linda Cardellini has switched her traditionally dark locks for an auburn tone that radiates against her complexion.

11 of 15

For pale skin | Auburn

Why? If you have pale skin with pinkish undertones tones, then a warm, reddish shade will work a charm with your colouring, drawing out a more glow-y feel.

We're obsessed with Zoe Deutch's copper coloured locks. Make our hair look like this, please.

12 of 15

For paler skin with golden undertones | Platinum

Why? If you're a mix of Eastern Asian and Caucasian like half Korean, half French-Russian actress Pom Klementieff and have pale skin with golden undertones, then bright white could be a bold look for you. Bright white brings out your warmer shades rather than golden colours, which could make you look sallow.

Pom's platinum crop brings brightness to her complexion and makes her skin glow.

13 of 15

For pale skin with peachy undertones | Ash-y blonde

Why? This cool tone works with pale complexions and reduces the appearance of any redness in the skin. This ash-y, almost sandy shade works particularly well with blue or grey/green eyes.

Actress Skyler Samuels' cool blonde shade works perfectly against her porcelain complexion.

For pale skin with pinkish undertones | Brown with red strands

Why? Brown hair can sometimes look a little flat on pale, pinkish skins, so adding in a touch of warmth will bring luminosity.

How cool is Aubrey Peeple's ombre style? The warm red that is worked into the bottom of her strands gives her face instant radiance.

15 of 15

For pale skin with reddish undertones | Platinum with dark roots

Why? This pale tone works to eradicate reddish tones, so great for those prone to Rosacea or flushing.

Actress and singer Maia Mitchell shows how you can give platinum blonde locks an edge by working a darker root. Ask your stylist to add one in or wait a few weeks for grow out.
