How We Calculate This

This calculator uses colour theory to recommend the correct toner shade and then calculates volumes based on hair length and tone intensity.

Colour cancellation

  • Brass / gold: Cancel with violet
  • Orange / copper: Cancel with blue / ash
  • Yellow: Cancel with violet / lavender
  • Red: Cancel with green / matt

Volume calculation

Toner = Base amount x Tone intensity x Length factor

Developer = Toner x Developer ratio
