Greener Shades : 9 colors, infinite possibilities

I saw on social networks someone mentions “Greener Shades have only 9 colors and they do not even have fluo! “. I told myself, I must write on the subject. There are still too many uninformed people.

Yes, Greener Shades offer dyes in 9 colors, but the possibilities are endless. Yes, Greener Shades do not have fluorescent colors … but not quite. If you use Greener Shades’ World of Color Dye Book, you will see that it is possible to do so.

Primary colors

There are three primary colors: red, blue and yellow. From these three colors, we can make secondary colors: orange, green and purple. Then if we mix these colors, we can get an infinity of colors.

No need to have a color training to make the right mixes and find the desired color. Greener Shades have understood the color mix and offers us a beautiful book with nearly 300 color recipes. We just have to follow the recipe from the 9 basic colors.

Recently I wanted to make a neon green and navy. I did not break my head, took my book and found the colors I wanted. I just followed the recipes and got the result right the first time. Wow! I was proud of my shot. (Read: super happy girl because sometimes my experiences do not always give me what I wanted at the beginning)

Saving money

The other advantage of having 9 colors is to have only 9 pots to buy. Some companies offer more than 80 colors … that means that you have to possess the right color pot to make the desired color. Whenever I want to make a new color, I have (still) to buy a new pot of dye (with the shipping costs that come with it).

If you want to experiment your own colors, the best is to play with the color and tone guide available in the shop. If you are less adventurous, you can purchase the color book Greener Shades (World of Color Dye Book) in PDF format.

So do you still think you need more than 9 pots of dye? What is your method for finding your ideal color?
