Why don't you strip back to your natural light brown and have some highlights
darker blonde and browns will look nice I think. Also it won't be to dramatic if you don't like it.

Thank you. I was thinking of a rich warm brown but was not sure if I should keep my blonde highlights. It's too expensive theses days. I will keep this in mind.

Toribeth, stripping your hair won't take out the blonde out of her hair- it will take out all of the coloring on your hair right now and the melanin...which means it's the same effect as bleach- blonde is not a color, yes it is bleached to a light color and then added a toner to get the right color, but stripping her hair would just fry the sh@#$ out of it because she's already blonde, and would make her hair white...it'd be kind of silly to do that...so I'm sorry but I just felt I should inform you what a color stripper does- it doesn't just take out the hair dye color.

Cheri- I think you should go with a light warm chocolate brown, or an aubrun light brown. nothing too dark. I think that you will miss your blonde as soon as you don't have it, however I completely understand your need for change. I think you should most deff AVOID black at all costs...black hair dye is so hard to get out of your hair, and will just be a pain more than anything. take this from experience please! plus I don't think black is flattering for everyone. Here are some pictures of colors I like for you and your complexion & light eyes! :)
this color (not nessecarily the style) would be amazing on you, and would deff warm up your skin and bring out your blue eyes.

Or something like this, since ombre is really popular right now- this would be easy to do with your hair...you can add a heavy foil of low lights to your hair, and have the blonde highlights toned down to a caramel color, instead of all over coloring and then adding the highlights from there. that'd just be my thought though :)

You can always add low lights or chunks of dark hair! Your hair color is beautiful tho.
