The purple inside indigo is what separates it from a straight blue: it keeps the ends looking rich rather than flat, and it is why the fade heads toward slate gray-violet instead of turning teal. At this depth the color is almost lost in dim rooms and only declares itself under strong daylight or flash. It also sits close enough to the dark base swatch that the transition line stays soft.

Undertonecool. Blue-violet stays cool at every depth, and the tone is dark enough to sit quietly beside warm skin instead of fighting it.
Starting pointBecause indigo is dark it only needs the ends taken to a light brown around level six or seven, far less bleaching than a bright blue requires.
UpkeepLeft alone it drifts gray, so plan a top-up before the eighth week, the roots require nothing, and the light lift leaves the ends in good shape.
