Cool color high lights for red hair?

I've been looking on the internet, looking at pictures of different hairstyles. I have long hair but I'm going to get it cut so I can donate it to an organization called locks of love. If you don't know what that is, they have a website. My hair is going to be a about 2 or 3 inches off my shoulders. I think I finally decided how I'm going to get it cut but now I'm thinking if I should put some color into it. My hair is a dark orange red and I don't know what color would look best w/ it. I don't want to die my hair completely. I just want a few streaks or so. I thought about purple but I have a friend who died her hair kinda a red purple color and she wanted to die the ends of her hair a bright purple. I don't want to get purple 'cause I don't want to seem like I'm copying her. I don't want blue or blonde either. I was thinking of black but that might be to dark for my skin. If anyone has any suggestions or picture of people w/ red hair and streaks of color in their hair. Plz help.

If you want to go the funkier route, I would stick with any cooler color (purples, blues, dark reds, etc.) I know you said no blue, but I didn't know if you were into any other color in the blue family. Burgundy would be pretty if your hair has more orange to it.

Another option...you could dye your hair dark (black even) and add red highlights to it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/leannz0r/35...

Of if you want to go with something lighter, you could try copper. My hair is a dark auburn and I got a coppery color highlight the one time and loved it. So anything like honey or caramel would look pretty. (Again, in the blonde family, so I don't know how into it you are.)

Locks of love is a great organization. They use donated hair to make wigs for people who are going through chemo or have had some other sort of trauma.

If your hair has natural highlights i wouldn't go for it, but if you really want color in it try asking your beautician which color would most accentutate your eyes but not make it too out there
