"trendy" color on natural dark brown

You know those "crazy" kind of colors/color designs you see on TV, like Shakira (i think) with blonde hair and black on the under layers?  Or blondes with red tips?  I noticed they never have a flattering 'crazy' look for brunettes.  I would like to do something like that, like maybe big panels of light brown and some black or pink...I dunno.  But not just for the sake of doing it; it has to be flattering.  So not like ppl who kool-aid their hair and it looks like sh**.
Any ideas or pics?

Thanks.  But actually, I already have that and have done it for a while and am kinda sick of it...

And this link has some violet, etc. highlights:

I am loving that hair colour on Kelly Clarkson above.  Really gorgeous!

Hi there...

I always thought black or dark brown hair with a few purple highlights would look cute.  Or you could always do the underlayer or middle layer with some purple.. just a thought.  (but you'd have to bleach it first and then use manic panic or some true purple color.)















But these just might go along with the crazy kool-aid hair you hate..dunno..just some ideas to get you thinking
