5 Colors That Look Amazing on Redheads

You know how people always say it's important to find your power color? Essentially, the idea is to pinpoint that one color (or a few) that you can count on to look best on you no matter what. Well, that decision comes down to how well a shade complements your natural coloring. While previously, we've investigated which colors look best on blondes, today, we're tackling another hair color and-clothing challenge: which hues look great on redheads.

With the help of our favorite celebs, we carefully selected five colors that perfectly complement red hair. From bold to soft shades, keep reading to see which options are strikingly amazing colors for redheads.
