Inadvertent Purple!!!

After taking my time on Tuesday to experiment with mixing ratios, i then decided to try something completely different which i needed a different colour, which i ordered,

Yesterday i was in all day until 5:30 when i took my bunny to the vet & thats when the postman comes to deliver & it will be redelivered today...

I needed to dye my hair yesterday (although this goes to show, don't make rush decisions) because i a going away camping for 3 nights as of tomorrow then i am back for a day, then going to Barcelona for 4 nights for my 10yr anniversary (& i want my hair to be freshly dyed but no run off, etc)

I couldn't decide on what colour, so i took the easy way out and took the BF preference, he liked the Rose Red 1:1 Violet. I used both whole pots to mix the colour & added a whole pot of conditioner, then i decided it looked too much like RR. I now realise i should have added the RR to the pot of violet, but i'd used it all, so the only way to change it was to add something else & for some reason in my wisdom i added a whole pot of atlantic blue.

It looked like Ribena when it was on my head but i didn't expect it to come out this colour!!!

excuse the pictures, i took them last night/fresh out of bed this morning.

It looks multi tonal purple inside & outside when the sun hits it, the pink comes through. I think it could take some getting used to, as i am not a massive purple fan & its quite dark, so i feel it makes me look pale.

I am interested to see how it fades, i guess the pink will come through more as Rose Red is the longest lasting colour.

I can't see the picture πŸ™
Edit: I can now, that colour is amazing! I know it's not what you were after but I think it really suits you.

Wow I love it! I know it can take some time to get used to something new, but I think it definitely suits you. And it's bound to go muck more pink when you wash it, so fading it a little could be your Plan B.

It looks fab! But I totally understand, that shade of purple just doesn't please me ON me either. It's one of the few colours I'm really not keen on.

Fantastic colour, love the multi tonal effect. I love it when mixing shades goes wrong but the outcome is excellent. 😊
