Auburn
A medium reddish brown where the brown holds the depth and the red shows as a warm copper glow through the lengths.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
The brown base is what separates auburn from a copper: there is enough depth to stay believable as a natural color, and the red only announces itself in direct light. On hair that already carries natural warmth it takes with very little effort. Fading pulls the red out first, so the shade drifts back toward a plain warm brown, at which point a gloss returns it without another full color.
- Undertonewarm, neutral. Warm and neutral skin with golden or peach depth reads naturally beside it, since the shade sits in the same warm family as the complexion.
- Starting pointMid-brown hair takes auburn on permanent color with no bleach; on darker brown or black nothing surfaces until the base is lifted a level or two.
- UpkeepA gloss before the eighth week stops the red washing back to brown, and regrowth blends easily because the depth sits close to natural.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Auburn against your own skin tone first.
