Hello! So, I've been considering dying my hair, and one of my ideas is tinting it in a pinkish or coralish color. My hair is beetween dark blonde and light brown, with some golden reflexes in the sun. Without bleaching, would dying it with a bright pink or pastel pink add a subtle pink color/ reflexes to my hair? And if yes, would it make my hair look a lot darker?
Naturally (1st pic), my hair is very curly/wavy in the ends and straight-ish in the roots. However, after brushing or spending some time in a bun, my hair can look different (1st pic). I edited the images to give you the idea of how I would like my hair to look like (2nd pic - excuse me for my bad photo editing skills, It was quickly made just so you would get the idea). After that, I have some pics of hair colors that I really like. (other pics)
Thank you for your help, it's really important for me to know what experienced people think 🙂

direct dyes don't last very long on unprocessed hair. They pretty much wash off in a wash or two.
It would work, but it wouldnt last long. I used to do this when I was in high school and wasnt allowed to dye it. I have much darker hair and reds and pinks looked great in the sun light but I had to re dye it every other wash.
It would not look anything like the pictures though, Just darker and pinkish in the sunlight.

Yes, any pink dye will just make your hair look slightly redder.
You would need a blonde base for any of the colours in your pics.
Direct dyes are translucent, so the colour you see is totally dependant on your base. You would need to use a very strong colour to make an impact on your natural colour, subtle washes of colour are only possible on very light hair. If you use a strong pink like Directions Rose Red you would get a deep cherry red shade on that base.
