Depends on your age. A person in their 50's would look fine with grey, but someone with grey hair in their early 20's (like me) looks older then expected. That's no good .
I'm 33, balding, and am more and more frequently finding grey in my beard. I don't care.
I've been coloring my hair for years even before the grays started to show up because my natural hair is a bland brown and a hint of auburn gold brightens up my face a lot and is flattering. .
I just touched up my roots today and, like you, find that a bit of gold/red tone really brightens my complexion (pale white Irish skin). The ashy colors do nothing for me.

That's where I'm at. I'm 38, my dad is from India, and I'm unlucky enough to have received the premature grey gene from my mother, who started dying her hair by necessity right after high school I didn't have to start that early, but by age 25, I was already greying a lot. I dye my hair jet black, its natural color, every 9 weeks or so. I couldn't let it go grey when I'm this young, especially since it's super thick, coarse, and waist length. My dad is 70 years old now and has still barely greyed at all. I'm jealous.

My dad is 51 and mostly bald. My mothers hair started greying around 5 years back, and she uses mehendi to keep it dark. I prefer coconut oil over any kind of dye though. Dye in southeastern humidity = disaster

Irish descent here too. The ashy tones drain the color from my face, the warm ones give it back.
A man should never dye his hair, any more than he should wear makeup. When an older man dies his hair, it's just plain obvious and creepy looking. Some men actually look better when they start graying, I think.
I think it looks okay for a man to dye his mostly gray hair to salt-and-pepper.
Also, I remember once hanging out around a man in his late twenties with maybe 1/3rd gray hair. If anything, his face looked younger than his age, and he was a good-looking guy. To me, the gray created a striking look. My guess is that few women over 25 would have held his gray hair against him. I'm confident his wife didn't
On on on onnnnn!!! It is a total turn on for me. I even wanted to dye my hair in gray but I have no courage. :/
