The color palette of hair colors for hair is a card that helps you navigate in a variety of options and select the most suitable tone. Unlike packaging, it gives a clear idea of the shade. Typically, samples are enclosed in a special cardboard booklet, opening which, you see artificial curls painted in different colors.
Briefly about the main thing
Why do manufacturers give preference to synthetic materials when creating a palette? They are the most stable and durable, because they are constantly touched by hands. This is their main advantage - the client can not only visually evaluate the shade they like, but also move an artificial curl after seeing all the tones and the play of color. The photograph on the packaging is not capable of this.
It is worth noting that the samples presented in the color palette of hair colors for hair are not arranged in random order, but according to a certain pattern. Above are usually the lightest shades, which gradually become darker with a decrease in the number.
Kapus
Beautiful hair from nature is a rarity. And gray strands, unfortunately, are relevant not only for women aged. Professional paints “Kapus”, which differ in their natural composition and a wide selection of shades, will help to solve these problems.
The product is manufactured in Italian and Spanish enterprises. There is no point in doubting the quality of the product, because it passes double control: first, according to European standards, in the country of manufacture, and then in Russia.
At the heart of paints are only natural ingredients, so they are considered safe. Due to the presence of oils, pigments have a soft, caring effect on curls. For example, cocoa butter strengthens the roots and tightens the structure. The active ingredients also include natural ingredients, hydrolyzed silk and keratins. They help to achieve brightness and silkiness. To date, the company produces 3 types of product:
- Proffessional - permanent pigment with lamination effect;
- Studio - with a minimum amount of ammonia;
- NonAmmonia Fragrance free - the composition does not imply the presence of ammonium hydroxide.
The “Capus” hair color palette is represented by a rather impressive number of shades (see photo below).
Estel
17 years ago, the young company Unicosmetik launched a line of hair care products, giving the brand the beautiful name Estelle. Initially, goods of a registered brand were designed not only for stylists, but also for ordinary buyers. To prevent possible confusion, it was decided to put markings. Thus, the products are marked Professional, and for lovers - St. Petersburg.
The range of professional paints has 4 unique lines with its own palette and a clear indication of directions. Therefore, the digital encoding of goods of different collections does not match and is an indicator of completely different tones.
Of the four existing series, the most developed is considered to be De Luxe, represented by 140 shades:
- most (109) are basic, which, in addition to staining, perfectly hide gray hair;
- 10 - proofreaders designed to increase intensity or, conversely, neutralize bad colors;
- High Blond - ten dyes for clarification;
- High Flash - 5 tones for highlighting;
- Extra Red - 6 unique red shades, distinguished by brightness and creativity.
Stylists use the Essex series for permanent coloring. The palette of hair colors "Estelle Essex" holds 114 tones:
- base total 86: from radical black to pearl blonde;

- ten reds;
- To give the hair a glamorous color, the Essex Fashion line was created, consisting of 4 tones: violet, purple, pink and lilac;

L`Oreal Casting Creme Gloss

It is not surprising, because the products from "Matrix" allow you to get the desired uniform shade without involving aggressive chemicals. Each color type in the brand collection is represented by many shades (over 80) and it is extremely difficult to list all the tones. But before you go shopping, we offer to get acquainted with the most popular series:

Garnier
The products of this brand fell in love with Russian customers at an affordable cost. The company released its first hair dye back in 1960, and it immediately received recognition from the French. Since then, other technologies, formulas have appeared, but the quality has remained unchanged.
The most popular product lines for coloring are:
1. Olia - for 60% consists of oils that not only care, but also help the pigments penetrate deep into the hair structure. In diluted form, the product does not flow, as it has a creamy consistency. In the palette of hair colors "Garnier Oliah" 25 colors:
- Blond (8).
- Chestnut (9).
- Reds (2).
- Redheads (2).
- Black (4).
2. Color Naturals - this composition also includes oils: olives - for nutrition and recovery, shea butter - to give shine, avocado - for elasticity. Buyers choose it for tone intensity and 100% gray hair coloring. There are 28 shades in the Garnier hair color palette, of which 13 are blond, 9 are chestnut, 3 are red and 4 are black.
3. Color Sensation - another product based on oils, but in this case, florals were used, which make the curls very soft. The composition also contains a secret ingredient - mother of pearl. Thanks to him, light is reflected from the hair, making them more shiny. Buyers note high resistance and assure that re-staining will be required no earlier than 2 months later. The palette contains 25 colors, of which 4 are black, 1 is red, 9 is chestnut, 11 is blond.
4. Color Shine - an undeniable advantage is the lack of ammonia. However, the product is not as strong as the previous one, so it can not cope with gray hair. With it, you can change the hue within no more than 1-2 tones. The Garnier Color Schein hair dye palette is presented in 17 colors.
Schwarzkopf
The company occupies an honorable 3rd place among the world's cosmetic brands. Throughout its existence, the German concern has issued several professional lines for stylists, but at the same time did not forget about ordinary customers and presented them with many collections for independent use at home. The most popular are:
1. Color Mask - a care product in mask format, which provides restoration of curls at each stage of staining. The Color Mask hair color palette contains 17 shades: Blonde (5), Light Brown (2), Chestnut (6), Chocolate (2), Black (2).
2. Nectra Color. The product, created on the basis of a formula with bio-oils and floral nectar, smoothes the surface of each curl, thereby improving their reflectivity. "Nectra Color" not only gives the hair a glossy shine and beautiful color, but also 100% paints gray hair. Here you will find both natural shades (chestnut, blond, blond) and incredibly fashionable: ashen, blue-black, intense red.
Palette: photo of hair colors, colors and palette
Surprisingly, of all the funds presented in the review with the product from "Pallet", the Russian market got acquainted only in 1997. However, this did not stop to win the recognition of customers as soon as possible.
The entire palette of hair colors for the brand, depending on the durability, is divided into 3 classes:
- Only tint balm belongs to the first level, which is washed off after 6-8 times. The pigment is evenly distributed over the surface of the curl, but does not penetrate deep into. If on the one hand this is a minus, then on the other it’s an advantage, since chemicals do not enter the structure.
- The second level also includes one collection - Color & Gloss, which is washed off after 26 - 28 times. The tool is a kind of intermediate option between deep and surface staining. The Color and Gloss series is able to change hair color by 2-3 tones.
- The last level provides a lasting shade. Here the company "Pallet" offers many collections, including Intensive Color Creme. Means from this category can radically change color. The composition includes pigment molecules that are firmly fixed in the structure of curls and are able to stay there for a long time. The resistance is so high that even after 2 months after staining, only regrown roots will have to be freshened.
The photo with a palette of hair colors contains 32 shades, which can be found not only in the Intensive Color Creme collection, but also in other “persistent” series of the third level.
Syoss
Among the analogues, the brand stands out with the slogan "professional products for non-professionals", that is, emphasis is placed on the following criteria:
- easy choice of shade;
- high-quality coloring, as in salons;
- saturated color;
- affordable cost.
The company approached the development of its products with all responsibility, so each paint was created under the supervision and assistance of professional hairdressers and colorists. In addition, the formula of all means is constantly being improved, since the main goal is to obtain the most saturated color and minimize damage to the structure.
Based on this, the brand has developed several lines in which each palette has its own direction:
1. Basic - Color Professional Performance.
The manufacturer and customers claim that the effect is in no way inferior to salon staining. The technology consists in the penetration of pigments into the deep layers of the hair. Moreover, a rather long level of intensity and excellent staining of gray hair are separately noted.
The following basic shades are included in the Syoss hair color palette :
1) Light (blond).
- mother-of-pearl 10-1;
- caramel 8-7;
- pearl 9-5;
- amber 8-4;
- dark blond 6-8;
- light 8-6;
- blond 7-6.
2) Chestnut:
- warm 4-98;
- mahogany 4-2;
- chocolate 4-8;
- light 5-1;
- nutty 5-8;
- frosty 5-24;
- golden dark brown 6-7.
3) Red:
- amber blond 8-70;
- amber copper 6-77;
- intense red 5-29;
- mahogany 4-2.
4) Dark:
- black 1-1;
- dark chocolate 3-8;
- dark chestnut 3-1;
- dark purple 3-3.
2. Innovative.
The line is represented by three clarifiers. Each of them has its own intensity, and the effect is manifested on a certain shade of hair:
- 13-0 ultra - eliminates color pigment from dark to light chestnut;
- 12-0 intense - discolors by 7 tones from chestnut to light blond;
- 11-0 strong - lightens 6 tones and is intended for dark and medium blond, as well as light brown hair.
3. Oleo Intense.
The series is represented by oil-based paints and, despite the ammonia-free composition, has excellent resistance (up to 6 weeks). Like the base, the Oleo Intens line is divided into 4 shades:
- light (8) - mostly blond and light brown;
- chestnut - natural colors with warm golden overflow (10);
- red - of all presented to the red, only "shimmering copper" is close (3);
- dark - the most beautiful, according to customers, is a blue-black shade (3).
4. Mixing Colors.
The last series is developed on the basis of two tones: basic and intense fashion. The palette includes 15 colors:
- light: 3 blond - tender, pearly, metallic and champagne cocktail;
- chestnut shades are designed in the same style;
- reds are rich red tones;
- only 2 representatives entered the dark palette: blueberry cocktail (with a light blue overflow) and dark chocolate.
Revlon ColorSilk
I would like to complete the review with this particular paint. Each product of the Revlon brand is characterized by a gentle alkaline composition and is intended for permanent staining by the oxidative method. But the main plus is the absence of an allergic reaction. Indeed, many people are familiar with the problem of sensitive skin and cannot change the color due to itching that occurs after the procedure.
The Revlon ColorSilk hair color palette includes 34 shades, which are divided into 3 basic scales: light, red and dark. Colors encode from 0 to 6 according to the following principle:
- natural;
- ashen;
- rainbow colored;
- golden;
- copper;
- mahogany;
- red.
You can purchase Revlon products only in professional equipment stores. It is worth noting that the oxidizer is not included in the kit, so you need to purchase it separately. The consistency of the paint resembles a gel, which greatly facilitates self-application.
