The great news is the O&M CØR.color Nudes are just an extension of the CØR.color line. So if you’re creating fashion colors, the application process is exactly the same as CØR.color!

When working with hair that is more than 25% white or grey, you need to add a base shade to your mixture for maximum coverage.

When using as a toner, lighten hair to the desired underlying pigment before applying CØR.nude as toner.
