Before we talk about the three beautiful shade options you can choose from to color your mane, we thought you might want to learn a bit more about how the custom formula used in this anti-brass collection works. The new formula manages to address one of your biggest hair color concerns without compromising the 100% gray coverage and triple protection system the original L’Oréal Paris Excellence line is known for.

Made from blue and green dyes, the new formula counteracts natural red and copper pigments that appear as underlying tones in dark base colors—meaning you don’t have to worry about your dark hair getting an unwanted orange tint when you try to lighten it. Even better, the formula contains extra strength 30 volume developer for the most supreme lift on dark bases.
