Yesterday I got my dyed in a style called "oil slick," which is a type of rainbow hair that brunettes can do.
I love it. It came out even better than I imagined. It's prettier in person than in the pics - the colors are both more delicate and more visible, and you can see more of them.
I asked the stylist not to try to cover up the gray in my hair, but to keep it as is so it (I hoped) would become another color accent. I say "gray," but it's actually a bright, glittering white. I like it and hope to have a streak rather than just individual strands some day. Anyway, that worked very nicely - it adds to the sparkly/metallic effect.
Even more photos, in different light and showing how changing my part reveals different colors.
Apologies for the bad lighting and visible camera. I don't like selfies as they change the shape of my face in an unflattering way, so I took these in the bathroom mirror.

I don't think I'll dye my hair again, after so many years of trying to color the gray until there was enough that it looked good by itself. And my hair grows so fast it's a losing proposition to keep up a dye job. (Also: bureaucrat.) But that's almost worth it...
