You'd be surprised, hun. Red is so common when you're talking about vibrant hair colours, because it's the easiest one to pull off. Things like green and blue can make your skin look washed out and make you look ill if you have pale skin. Pinks and reds have a warming effect and can complement most skintones.I did debate going red on mine (Rihanna has a lot to answer for!) but being quite a light blonde I don't think I could pull it off.
