Ideal hair color for FUE?

jstix09
Is it ok to pick the scabs on day 3? (Just kidding) My question is this: what effect does hair color have on the final result? I've read that you'll never have a youthful dense head of hair with fue. But what hair color + successful procedure gets you closest to the most ideal result possible? Is it better to have dark or light hair? Thank you!!
