Hey guys! I'm afraid I here to publish another opinion post. Okay, so I've always had this plan to go grey before summer ends, but I'm just afraid that it wouldn't match with my newly tanned skin tone.

So first attached is a picture of myself, and the rest are potential grey styles I want to go for.

In sum
1. Could I pull off grey?
2. If so, which style would suit me best? 😊

I think the third pic would suit you very well.

I agree, the blue tones in the third I think would compliment your tanned skin the most because it is such a contrast!

Wow, 3 (unexpectedly) is the majority's vote 😱 thanks so much for all of your thoughts! I really appreciate it! I'll definitely put everything here said into consideration!

I think you and I are similar in color and I had the color more similar to the first one.
You could literally pull of any color.
We're both more in the mid range of skin color.

I prefer the first one just cause it's a little more neutral silver rather than a blue-gray which I found I was limited to specific colors because I found certain colors clashed with the darker gray but it's really just personal preference.
I felt when I had more of the darker gray hair I only liked darker colors on me. If you like darker colors than go for it.

I have very similar skin tone to yours and I already have grey hair but I sometimes use hair chalks to pep up my hair and I've gone similar to #2 a couple of times, sorry, with streaks of turquoise, similar to my avatar!

@aurora and Lin thank you for the in depth reasoning. I really appreciate it
And aurora, yes I am more into darker colors these days 😊
