Below are some colors I tried but I feel their too intense?

Hey. I guess you should use a pinkly purple and work with shadow and light in the hair. About the eyebrow, I think it will look great with dark shades.

Hello! First. I like your design, his hair is like Bubblegum or something like that xD.
I think the colors are actually dull in comparison with the general color of the hair. With some vivid colors and some illumination looks better. (in my imagination is like a bubble or something like that.)

I made a quick edit so you can understand what i mean.
