Plum is the wearable one in the purple family: enough brown in it that it never reads as fantasy color, enough purple that nobody mistakes it for dark hair. On a black canopy the panel adds a dusty wine-purple cast when it shows and folds back into the base when it does not. Low saturation also means there is no awkward fade stage; it just goes softer and browner until it merges with the natural depth.
- Undertoneneutral, cool. Brown in the mix keeps it grounded, so it works on warm-neutral and olive skin where a clean violet tends to look pasted on.
- Starting pointA level six lift is plenty, which makes this the least damaging purple option on dark hair and the easiest one to keep discreet at work.
- UpkeepRefresh every six to eight weeks with a plum gloss, and the grow-out line stays soft because the panel sits close in depth to the natural hair.
Try it before the bleach
