Dark hues are a good choice if your skin is a bit darker. Most women in their 40s and 50s typically play it safe and go for jet black hair. However, this color is pretty dull. And if you have long hair, the last thing you want is to end up looking like Morticia Adams. An excellent alternative is a dark chocolate hair color. The hairstyle combines creamy and luscious with softer hues that will look even more beautiful when reflected with light.
