Under daylight it burns close to traffic-cone orange, while indoors it settles into something nearer hot copper. Because the pigment is warm and the bleached base beneath it is yellow, orange is among the easier vivids to place: a slightly uneven lift disappears under it. As it washes down it drifts through apricot and then pale peach instead of turning muddy, so the fade stays wearable.

Undertonewarm. Golden and olive skin absorb this without a fight, while very cool pink complexions find it throws extra heat into the face.
Starting pointLevel eight pale yellow is the sweet spot, so dark hair has to be bleached first, though orange hides patchy lift better than any cool shade.
UpkeepRefresh every three to four weeks with a pigmented conditioner, wash cold, and expect regrowth to appear as a darker warm band rather than a hard line.
