Help Finding The Right Color

About last year during Halloween I dyed my hair using Kool-aid. I wanted a more red color for the character I was going for.  I loved how it came out.  Now I'm wanting to dye my hair that color with actual dye which I have never done before.  I am a bit lost.  I need help finding the color that would achieve what the Kool-aid gave me really but looking in the stores, well I can't find it.  I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions. Of the attached pictures. The straight haired one is dyed, while the curly is my natural color.

Adore do a range of bright but natural ish reds and oranges, I think an Orangey one of those might work for you, Orange blaze maybe? I don't have that much experience with more natural tones so hopefully someone else can help you more πŸ™‚

Thankyou! Looking those over just quickly, I may be able to find something that works!

Looking at the Adore Dyes I found 2 color charts.  Each shows the colors very different. On the larger chart I like 52 and 56 (39 is too bright) but on the smaller chart 39 is perfect and 52 and 56 are to dark.  How can I know which is more accurate before I buy it?

To me, I think the brighter chart looks like it's too bright, the less bright one looks closer to the real colour. If you get one and you're worried about it being too bright then you can dilute the dye with conditioner to make it more subtle πŸ™‚

We also have lots of Adore results in the Natural Shades section of our photo area ... it might help to see the real result, as Adore colour swatches really aren't true to colour in my experience.
