Here, colorists match the top trends in hair color with the most common skin tones and reveal how to get the look at home or in the salon. Keep reading for a gorgeous new you!

FOR FAIR OR LIGHT SKIN

Try palomino blond

Inspired by the horse breed of the same color, palomino blond is made up of vibrant gold, creamy pale ale and deep topaz tones, says Diana Mildice, a colorist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. "This color returns the depth, brightness and shimmer that blond strands lose during winter." Plus, the shade's mix of warm, golden hues adds radiance to light skin.

IN THE SALON: Ask your colorist to place these shades in a paneled pattern using a balayage technique to seamlessly blend the tones.
