hair color chart reds

I’ve recently noticed that every permanent hair dye i buy has a different number on it,?

i’ve also noticed that the red hair dyes almost always have a 7 followed by a . and a number, is there some kind of global color chart for hair colors? If so, where can i find a compleate color chart?

There are 12 different levels of hair. 0 being black and 12 being the lightest platinum you’ve ever seen. Dark color go from 0 to about 5, depending on what your opinion of dark is, medium from 5-8, and light from 8-12. Most box colors start with the level number and are either followed by other numbers or letters. Always go with the first number. Although once I did see a number that was something like 715-7 and it was level 7. But anyhoo, I’ll find the link for the wella color chart, its pretty thourough. It’s actually the one we used in cosmetology school to learn all this, lol.

Its broken up, but you’ll get the idea. Happy coloring!
