We think summer is the best time to try a new hair color — yes, much better than right after a bad break-up, though we believe in that, too. And, it just so happens that this summer's coolest shades are unexpected twists on the classic colors we all know and love.

Or something like that. After all, we don't need people to think we emerged from the womb with Black Cherry hair, we just need them to recognize how awesome it looks.

Click through to see our picks of the coolest hair dyes of the season, and don't be surprised if it gets your imagination started: When it comes to hair dye, you literally have the whole rainbow to choose from, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
