Paul Mitchell The Color CNB+ – Icy Cool Brunettes with Complete Grey C

Introducing the latest innovation in professional colour: Paul Mitchell The Color CNB+ (Cool Natural Blue+). This new addition to the iconic The Color Plus (+) family empowers stylists to deliver stunning icy cool brunettes with smoky accents, crisp dimension and 100% grey coverage.

With a unique brown-to-tan background and a calibrated blue undertone, CNB+ shades neutralize warmth while offering a subtle pearl reflection. The result? Grey coverage that’s cool, modern, and never flat, green or overly ashy.
