adore natural shades?

can anyone tell me which of the adore natural shades in the medium-dark brown range have cool undertones?  i've never used their line, so i figured i'd consult the experts!  basically, a friend is looking to use a natural semi in a darker shade than her natural color, but wants to avoid a red fade, and would prefer something ashy or golden.

eta-- or if you know of a different brand/shade she should go for that would be better, let me know!  all suggestions welcome. πŸ™‚

I was looking at them in the shop the other day and opened the bottles to look closely at the colours

I would say Medium Brown and Dark Brown are definitely green-ash based

Bordeaux is brown-plum (violet-based)

Dark Chocolate is neutral and could go either way as it has a slight violet-rose tint to it but a rich brown

Mocha is more neutral but lighter.. but some have said ash and some say warm so I think it could go either way depending on your base

I really like the Bordeaux and Dark Chocolate and am wondering how they would be diluted or mixed

I have not tried them yet as I found some bottles contain silicone so I am looking for the ones that don't

let us know how you find them

thank you, lingling!  i think medium and darkest brown are the ones i ended up suggesting to her based on swatches i saw in another thread, but i hadn't thought of mocha.  i'll add that one to the list.

oh and apparently Bordeaux fades to light muted purple
I saw a photo somewhere
you may want to ask her if you find who it is

there are also some faded Dark Chocolate and Mocha on here somewhere so if you do a search you may be able to compare

none of them had a red or orange fade πŸ˜€

I used mocha and my hair went a lovey shiny brown and just faded lighter and lighter brow until back to blonde after a while. Looked lovely all the way through.
