Silver is less a dye than an absence of pigment plus a blue-violet toner, and every part of living with it follows from that. The panel throws a metallic sheen when the hair moves and looks nearly white against black in strong light. Warmth is the enemy: the moment the toner starts to go, yellow surfaces and the silver reads dull beige instead of steel. Hard water speeds that up considerably.

Undertonecool, neutral. A neutral-cold gray with nothing warm to soften it, most at home beside cool or olive skin, and sharper still where the complexion is deep.
Starting pointSilver only exists on hair lifted to level ten, so a dark base means bleaching the panel out completely and then toning it with blue-violet.
UpkeepTone every two to three weeks with a silver shampoo in rotation between; the toning cadence here is the tightest of any shade in this family.
