Pink.. Hmm

I'm considering going to an emerald green. Green is my favorite color and I'm hoping I can pull it off.

Black...

You should also consider your natural hair colour, because if you have dark hair you will have to bleach it to get a vibrant colour! Also the fading of the shade, ect.

Pink very nice
