Amethyst hair color is one of the prettiest hair color hues trending this season. This color is a beautiful blend of blue and purple shades of hair color but leaves the exact tones up to interpretation. This is ideal for allowing room to tailor the outcome to a shade that will flatter a range of skin tones. From vibrant purples to electric blues, amethyst hair color is the creative stylist’s dream come true.
