I don't know that I'd agree with "warm" skin tones being best with
red hair, look at the true redheads, they tend to have very pale skin
with pink undertones. My sister has some natural red in her hair and
she's so pale she's almost blue! Maybe stop by a wig shop and try on
something that you think might match what your hair would look like
with red tones. And while you're there try on some of those Dolly
Parton wigs just for fun! (I've always wanted to do that!)

also

my

I

: Help! Anyone know of a good website about determining skin tone
and
: which ones look best with henna'd hair?
