Popsugar Beauty Hair Amethyst Brown Hair Colour Ideas For 2020 "Amethyst Brown" Is the Prettiest Hair Colour You Can DIY at Home 22 August 2020 by Danielle Jackson Image Source: Getty / Kirstin Sinclair As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too.

A month from now, many of us will be swapping out rompers for cosy knit jumpers and subsequently thinking about the darker, moodier hair colours we'll be looking to try. Among the handful of pretty fall hair colours worth considering, one that's really sticking out is "amethyst brown" — the hybrid of purple and brown. "Violet is made of red and blue, so it looks good on both warm and cool skin tones." Like any other shade, you can choose how saturated you want the pigment to be depending on what you're looking for. The key is to keep it simple. "I'm not talking a full-on, Duran Duran red-violet, but adding a subtle muted violet tone to your medium brown [base] will look rich and chocolaty," Rex Jimieson, colourist and hair colour educator at Maxine Salon, previously told POPSUGAR. "Violet is made of red and blue, so it looks good on both warm and cool skin tones. We've become more comfortable with complementing our real hair and real skin tones after months of seeing it on the daily during lockdown." What's even better is that if you still don't feel safe seeing a colourist at a salon quite yet, you can DIY the hue on your own. Just look for an at-home kit with semipermanent colour (we've rounded up a few great ones here) and get to work. For inspiration, check out a few of our favourite takes on the "amethyst brown" hair colour ahead.
