Rich, warm red based hair colors can delight, turn heads and energise your complexion.

We receive many requests for copper colors, from distinctive bright blends to softer, subtle shades.

Like the many shades of red seen in leaves in autumn, copper colors include natural looking auburn tones and warm blends with mahogany and chestnut tones.

Finding your perfect red with the right level of depth and tones can be as easy as blending two colors to create your own customised copper color blend, such as these popular blends:

Double Copper:

A gorgeous warm double-copper color with a bronde base, uniting the warm copper tones of Trieste with Palermo’s rich Copper Golden Blonde tones.

Blend half a Trieste color tube with half a Palermo color tube to layer copper on copper. This bright, vibrant blend has a touch more depth than Palermo alone, with eye-catching, bright tones.

Mix Together: ½ tube Palermo Copper Golden Blonde 7.43 + ½ tube Trieste Light Golden Copper Brown 6.34

Gorgeous Mahogany Copper:

Replicate the look of this gorgeous mahogany copper color by blending ¾ tube of Verona Chocolate Brown with ¼ tube Palermo Copper.

Adding rich copper tones to the deeper mahogany tones of Verona adds bright vibrant tones for a truly beautiful color result.

Mix together: ¾ tube Verona Chocolate Brown 5.53 + ¼ tube Palermo Copper Golden Blonde 7.43

Glowing Strawberry Blonde Tones:

For a softer strawberry blonde color, blend copper tones with a medium or light blonde.

Half-strength Golden Copper Tones from Palermo add a warm glow to a lighter blonde base.

Mix Together:  Torino Golden Blonde 8.3 or Amalfi Light Blonde 9 + Palermo Copper Golden 7.43; 50:50 for brighter copper tones. Reduce the volume of Palermo and increase Torino or Amalfi for a softer color result.

Warmth that Works over Grays:

Adding a warm copper color over grays can result in a lighter and brighter color result over grays. Grays lack all natural pigments which anchor and fill a color.

Blending a rich copper color with a neutral color will give you a consistent, balanced finish. The neutral tones will fill any missing pigments in your grays, giving you an even color result.

You can achieve better copper results by blending copper tones with a neutral color.

If you love rich, warm tones, and you have some grays, we can help with a Duo color blend.

Our Duo color Kits include two different color tubes, 2 developers, color Protection shampoo and conditioner, gloves, hair color remover wipes and barrier oil.

Duo color advantages:

• Blend two color levels to create a color which sits between two base color levels, adding half a level, or more, of depth or softness
• Add warmth to a neutral color
• Blend two warm colors for an intensely warm, rich color result
• Add neutral pigments to anchor and fill missing pigments for even, consistent color results over grays

This color service is a game changer. Going from blonde to copper and I can now do my hair at home. Feels so good to save money and time. After a few disappointing visits to my hairdresser and parting with $350 for each appointment, I was really looking for a change. The quality of the color itself and the unbelievable service and education you get speaking to the support team is really outstanding. I love how my hair looks and feels and I have The Shade to thank for this!

I used TRIESTE – LIGHT GOLDEN COPPER BROWN — love this color. The hair feels soft, silky, and smells good. Customer service is great, thanks. Would recommend everybody.

So unbelievably happy with my color! I have been obsessed with the idea of warm copper locks for a while and after paying $$ at a salon and still not quite getting the look I was after, I decided to take a leap of faith and subscribe to The Shade. I am so happy with how it turned out ❤️

Love, Love Love it! Fantastic shipping time, quality product and great results. Loved the neat packaging, personal touches and salon kit. The shampoo & conditioner are fabulous and left my hair feeling thick and healthy. Portofino- Copper Golden Brown is a beautiful rich color too.
