The panel is sectioned below the occipital bone, so against a dark base you get a pale flash whenever the hair swings or goes up. Its tone is deliberately drained of gold, and that is what keeps it looking like ash instead of honey. Indoors it can read almost silver-beige, while daylight starts to reveal the warmth sitting under any lifted brown hair. The ash is always the first part of it to leave.

Undertonecool, neutral. The gray cast in it sits comfortably against pink and neutral skin, and stays quiet against olive skin instead of competing with it.
Starting pointDark brown needs taking up to a pale yellow, roughly level eight, before an ash toner will hold, so bleaching the underneath section is unavoidable.
UpkeepAsh leaves faster than it goes in, so plan a cool gloss around week five, with a purple shampoo weekly to hold brass off the panel.
