COLOR FAMILIES:
Becoming familiar with color family ranges can better help you understand the colors you are looking at.
In general, the color families will work like this:
Black: 1-2
Brown: 4-12
Blonde: 14-26
Natural Red: 27-33
Vibrant Red: 130-134
Grey: 34-60 & 92
Platinum: 101-104, 613
A general rule of thumb with blacks and browns is that lower numbers will be darker, whereas higher numbers will be lighter. For example, the color GL2-6 by Gabor is blend of a dark natural brown and a medium natural brown, whereas the color GL10-12 is a light golden brown mixed with the lightest ash brown.
