Would you happen to recommend any shades you use for blonde hair?

I normally press lightly with a yellow colored pencil to establish the base color, after which I add a bit of orange. The final colors usually depend on the color scheme and mood of the drawing, and while I used to use brown (terra cotta), I've found that a dull purple tends to work better, layered on top of the yellow and orange. Shades of blue and such may work as well, but I wouldn't recommend layering too many warm colors. Blonde hair isn't usually that pure and radiant, anyway.
