20 Best Dark Ombre Hair Color Ideas
1. Dark Brown To Blonde Ombre
If you’re going for a high contrast look, one of the easiest ways to achieve a perfect transition is to start the fade on the higher lengths of the hair. The dark brunette hair on this style fades to a beautiful baby blonde. The undertones in the style are cool, making this the perfect look for women with cool-toned skin.
2. Subtle Chocolate Brown Ombre
There are few styles that beat the simple charm that rich chocolate locks have. This style has been painted with a balayage ombre technique. The chocolate highlights begin close to the roots and the artist has incorporated a subtle fade. The style is perfectly textured and is sure to suit most skin types.
3. Dark Gray Ombre
This ombre starts very close to the roots and begins quite abruptly, emphasizing on the boldness of the style. The dark gray has a subtle transition to a lighter color that takes on lilac tones on the way. The splash of lilac in the mid-lengths of the style helps add movement.
4. Black To Purple Ombre
If you have black hair and want an unnatural color that will seamlessly blend out of your natural hair, this is the style for you. The natural black color of the hair transitions to a midnight purple at the mid-lengths of the hair. The color then fades to a vivid eggplant purple near the lower lengths. The cool tones on this style make it ideal for women with cool-toned skin.
5. Mint Green Ombre On Dark Hair
Green is your best bet if you want to try out a pastel color but have extremely dark hair. The yellow tones of your hair after pre-lightening will only accentuate the dye instead of canceling it out. This is the perfect style for women with olive or neutral skin tones and dark hair.
6. Ombre Highlights On Dark Hair
The best thing about an ombre is that you can customize it to perfectly frame your face. This is one of the best face-framing ombre styles that we have come across. The dark brunette hair fades to a pale blonde. The artist has begun the fade very close to the roots, near the framing strands.
7. Blue Ombre With Frosted Tips
Blue is one of the most popular choices when it comes to unnatural shades. This amazing style fades from a dark black to a deep midnight blue. The fade begins very close to the roots and the color becomes more vibrant at the mid-lengths of the hair. The lower lengths abruptly fade out to an icy blue-toned platinum. This is one of the coolest styles (pun-intended) we’ve come across.

The colors on this look are slightly cooler than a typical golden fade.
10. Lavender Ombre On Dark Hair
Lavender is a popular choice for women with light hair, but this dark twist on the look has us so completely mesmerized.
