Burgundy
A dark wine red pushed toward violet, deep and low in brightness, nearer black cherry than a true red.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
The blue-violet inside burgundy is what makes the shade read rich rather than loud, and it is also the first component to rinse away, which is why the color warms as it ages. Indoors it can pass for very dark brown, then throws clear red under sun or flash. It fades unevenly across the head, going warmer and lighter on ends that get heat styled, so those pieces need the most attention at every refresh.
- Undertonecool, neutral. Cool and neutral complexions, deeper skin included, suit it because the violet in the red matches coolness the skin already carries.
- Starting pointDeposits onto dark brown or black hair with no bleach, though on black hair the red only shows in strong light unless the base is lifted a level or two.
- UpkeepNo pigment family drains faster than red, so the honest schedule is a weekly depositing conditioner and a full refresh before week six.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Burgundy against your own skin tone first.
