Swamp
A murky green blend layering moss, olive and dark forest so the color looks damp and uneven rather than uniform.

Both renders are HairGlam output. In the app the shade lands on your photo instead.
The three greens are woven through each other instead of stacked in a gradient, which is why it reads as organic murk and not as a dye job. Under warm indoor bulbs the olive dominates and the whole head can look almost brown; in daylight the cooler forest green comes forward. Green is the most stubborn direct dye there is, so it fades slowly and unevenly into a swampy khaki that plenty of people simply keep.
- Undertonecool, neutral. The dominant greens sit cool with a yellow-olive undercurrent, which reads well against neutral and olive skin and can emphasize redness in very pink complexions.
- Starting pointGreen pigment needs a light canvas to show its depth, so pre-lightening to at least a level eight is required, though the darkest forest tone will grab on a level seven.
- UpkeepIt holds longer than most fashion shades, so a refresh somewhere around week seven is usually enough, with a green-depositing conditioner in between.
Try it before the bleach
Color is the expensive mistake to get wrong. Put Swamp against your own skin tone first.
