What Is Burgundy Brown Hair?

This stylish hair color blends dark brown base colors with vibrant, deep red pigments to create a cherry-tinted twist on the standard brunette hues. The boldness of the color dimensions in burgundy brown hair can range anywhere from crimson to plum, so this shade can be easily adapted to fit anywhere on your beauty look spectrum.

The Best Burgundy Brown Hair Color For Your Skin Tone

Regardless of your typical style, natural hair color, or your skin tone, there’s a version of burgundy brown hair that can look gorgeous on you. 

For those with fair skin, this shade will be striking and dramatic, whereas on medium and dark skin tones the color will seem more subtle.

If you have cool undertones, stick to a burgundy hair color that has a slight violet tint. The purple color will pair nicely with the blue tone that shines through skin with cool undertones. To complement warm undertones, opt for a burgundy with hints of true red.
