Do light skinned african americans look better with dark hair or lighter hair?

I am a light skinned african american(in the black community I would be called red or yellow bone). Right now I want to dye my hair strawberry blonde with black on the roots and the ends(like janine on house of payne) and I was was wondering should I just leave it natural(brunette) or dye it completely black or dye it completely strawberry blonde? and also do light skinned african americans look better with dark hair or lighter hair?
