When it comes to picking a new hair color, opting for one that enhances your haircut is a non-negotiable. After all, why change up your ‘do’s natural hue if it won’t do anything much to it? But instead of just picking a color that suits your cut, we suggest you pick one that also flatters your skin tone the most.
A common misconception Pinays have is that morenas don’t have as many hair color options as women with a fairer complexion. Well, we’re here to debunk that! Medium to dark skinned gals have the same amount of color choices as everyone else. The trick is to really decide whether the color you want will help create a beautiful contrast against your tan, or would you prefer your new 'do to liven up your skin!
Don’t be afraid to go bold either! A striking hair color looks great against a golden or bronzy complexion, and gives off quite a sultry, beach girl vibe. To be honest, who wouldn’t want to look like they’ve just spent a day out by the shore? That’s why instead of going with a full singular color, opt for highlights that help add pop of color and cleverly enhance your features!
But if you’ve yet to find some flattering pegs, let us ease your search with these flattering picks. From face-framing dye jobs to soft and subtle highlights, these 10 textured hair colors will definitely bring out the best of your deep golden glow!
10 Gorgeous Hair Colors with Highlights Perfect for Morenas
1. Dark Brown with Ash Blonde Highlights
Create a beautiful contrast with ash blonde highlights against a rich deep brown. Be sure to have those highlights done closer to your face so the blonde streaks frame your face beautifully.
2. Dark Brown with Mahogany Highlights
If you’re morena with a warm undertone, this is the perfect color combination to get! Both colors would definitely boost the golden tones of your skin effortlessly!
3. Mushroom Brown with Blonde Highlights
Opt for this warm ash brown shade if you want to soften your features. The blonde washes of color also help add volume and texture to a simple single-length cut.
4. Ash Brown with Blonde Highlights
Want to make your tan stand out even more? Then go for light ash tones! Keep brassiness at bay for a fresher look and really make sure you tone down the blonde hues with a purple or blue toner!
5. Golden Brown with Blonde Highlights
Want a sun-kissed hair color? Then you’ll love this color combo! The golden tones work so well for morenas with yellow undertones since it helps brighten your skin tone. The beauty of this dye job is that you can go for chunky highlights if you’d like to emulate a more Y2K vibe!
6. Chocolate Brown with Golden Brown Highlights
If you want your highlights to blend in more with your base color, then opt for pops of light golden brown instead of blonde against a chocolate base. This is perfect for subtly layered hair since it’ll add a touch of texture to your ‘do!
7. Chocolate Brown with Copper Highlights
Got more of a warm or red undertone? Try adding some reds to your hair! A subtle way to do this is to go with a deep brown base with lush caramel highlights. However, be wary that these highlights work better if your hair is styled in waves versus a simple straight blowout.

This pretty coffee shade is the perfect in-between of medium brown and ash brown. It looks natural on morenas since it doesn’t create too much of a stark contrast against a tan. To really make your base color look richer, pair it with golden brown highlights, too!
10. Rich Brown with Light Brown Highlights
Highlights don’t need to stand out as much if you don’t want them to! You can also have your stylist do it in a subtle balayage just to add a bit of texture to a one-length haircut. In terms of the color story, you can choose to pair a basic brown color with a woody tone that’s just one shade lighter to your base for a more natural look!
