Royal Blue
A saturated mid-depth blue with no green in it, even and strong, reading as pure blue rather than navy.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
Next to an indigo this one is brighter and more open, staying visibly blue in low light instead of sinking toward black. It goes down easily because blue pigment is large and deposits well, so coverage tends to be even on the first pass. The fade is the awkward part: as the blue softens, the yellow underneath begins to show and the color slides through teal on its way to green.
- Undertonecool. Cool and deep neutral skin handles it best, because a blue this saturated casts cold light onto whatever sits next to it.
- Starting pointLevel eight will take it, so a full lift to white is unnecessary, though the more yellow left behind the faster it slides to teal.
- UpkeepSix to eight weeks of wear is realistic, with a teal stage somewhere in the middle, and blue is slow to strip when you finally want it gone.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Royal Blue against your own skin tone first.
