The three tones are woven rather than banded, so the effect shifts with how the hair falls: magenta catches wherever the light hits, indigo fills the shadow underneath. It reads almost black across a room and unmistakably purple in daylight. Magenta is the shortest lived of the three and pulls the whole thing bluer as it drops, which is not unattractive but is a different color from the one you left with.

Undertonecool. Indigo and violet are firmly cool and the magenta is a blue-based pink, so the palette belongs on cool or neutral skin and sits uneasily beside strong gold.
Starting pointIndigo and purple will take on hair lifted to a light brown, but the magenta needs a pale base to show at all, so the pieces carrying it usually need bleach.
UpkeepAdd violet back every four weeks through a pigmented conditioner, and expect regrowth to arrive as a dark band that reads as a shadow root rather than an error.
