There are so many bold hair colors, and the temptation to experiment is strong. If you work in a professional setting, you may not be able to get away with something really wild. Still, a lot of people, even businesses, are getting much more accepting. Even if you can't dye your hair a vivid purple or a daring red, it's still fun to think about. For the purposes of being really crazy, I've left off the more traditional, “acceptable” colors, even the more outrageous shades of red. Do you think you'd choose some of these bold hair colors if you could get away with wearing them? ## 1. Rainbow Drama _ Via Amber's rainbow hair_ Many bold hair colors incorporate all the shades of the rainbow. This is a darker, more dramatic take on the trend, with a little mermaid flair. ## 2. Mermaid Hair _ Via Crazy Hair Colors for the ..._ Speaking of which, shades of green like these always make me think of mermaids, even more than blue and aqua.
