It's best not to mirror your hair color when it comes to clothing. Instead, stylists suggest complementing the other colors on your face. Brown is a good scarf color choice for those with brown or hazel eyes. It'll make your eye color pop and your overall look more vibrant.
3. Rose Pink

Almost any color works well with gray hair. In fact, wearing colors that spark joy regardless of your hair color or skin tone is the way to go!
However, if you'd like to keep things natural, there are a few colors to avoid. Pale pastels, neon colors, and light neutrals are some shades to steer clear of. These colors either overpower your gray hair or make you look washed out.
