I've been wanting to dye my hair for a while, and decided that before summer would be great.
This is me:

Not a very sexy picture, but it shows my skin and hair color well. Virgin, fine & oily hair. When I asked my hair-cutter, she told me I had translucent undertones. Also, my eyes usually look lighter than this.
I wanted to dye my hair a light blonde like this:

A natural blonde like this:

Or possibly a light orange/red like this:

I only considered that one since I had red hair as a kid.

I'm really open-minded, I just want it to look somewhat natural to someone that doesn't know me. If I really don't like it, I can always shave it (the beauty of not being a girl).
You're welcome to suggest something new, just please include a picture.

I think the orangey color would look bad with your skintone and really wash you out, but I was thinking perhaps a dark blonde for you? I think that'll look good, but if it was between the two blondes, I would choose the darker one :)
