Introducing Gold Brown
The Color XG Gold Brown series is perfect for soft golden tones, formulated with a brown-to-tan background for warm and refined results.
6GB (6/37) is a light gold brown, similar to caramel and umber. On colour-treated levels 3-5, it can be used alone to deposit subtle warmth and create sun-done brunettes.
7GB (7/37) is a lovely gold blonde shade that adds a soft, tan tone to blonde colour-treated hair.
9GB (9/37) is a very light gold blonde, reminiscent of soft camel or natural maple. It deposits a sheer natural gold when used on light colour-treated levels.
