The base swatch sits at dark chocolate and the dip lands close to white, so worn down the hair reads as two separate colors rather than one graded length. Platinum shows every trace of remaining warmth, which means the ends have to be lifted almost all the way out before a toner can do its job. The pale section swings and catches light far more than the base does, so movement in the hair becomes much more visible.

Undertonecool. A true platinum has no warmth left in it, so it reads clean on cool or neutral skin and turns severe beside deeply golden coloring.
Starting pointDark hair has to be bleached to a near white level ten before violet toner will hold, and on virgin dark hair that usually means more than one session.
UpkeepPurple toner or gloss every three to four weeks stops yellow creeping back, the roots stay out of it entirely, and the ends remain fragile enough to need bond treatment and low heat.
