Christie Brinkley may switch up her blond hair.

The supermodel, 69, showed off her natural hair color in a beachy Instagram post on Sunday, posing in the sand in a cozy outfit as she reveals her gray roots and ponders whether or not “to keep” the look.

“Grey [sic] sky! Gray hair! The second you see gray hair it raises the question , just like when you cut bangs ..to keep or not to keep?” she writes, posting a series of snapshots of her enjoying a cloudy beach day with visibly gray streaks going through her blond locks.

“Thank goodness both are just a personal preference or a fun change of pace,” she adds, laughing in the photos while sporting an oversized cardigan, ripped jeans and brown Chelsea boots.

The Bellissima wine founder continued to question her roots, writing that while her “son thinks it looks cool,” she “may want to wait till it’s more like the silver whitecaps than the grey [sic] wave itself!”

At the end of the day, Brinkley admits “the verdict is still out” on whether she’ll dye her hair back to blond.

The next day, she posted some spring-like photos of herself with the grays nowhere to be seen — causing several fans to ponder if she’d already covered up her roots.

“6 March the Snowdrops are blooming!” she captioned this smiley spring photo. christiebrinkley/Instagram

“Back to being blonde??” one Instagram user wrote. “It suits you & your sunny personality.”

However, Brinkley weighed in on the matter, replying to the fan that it was just the sun hitting her hair.

“no I haven’t touched my hair,” she wrote, adding, “It’s just the light hitting it at a funny angle and making it look very light!”

The mom of three also contemplated getting older on her 69th birthday last month, posting a collage with a series of magazine covers proclaiming her ages over the years.

“My days were NUMBERED! Literally!” she captioned the post. “Christie at 40, 45, 50 55,60…I present the evidence here with these smattering of covers all proclaiming my age! Lol!”

For more Page Six Style …

Brinkley — who credited “gratitude” and low-sugar wine for her youthful appearance in an interview last year — went on to say “Those days of hiding our age are over! Im 69 and I feel GRATEFUL!”

The blond beauty wrapped up her post by encouraging women to “proclaim your age.”

“Make those numbers your bitch!” she said.
