Dark Plum mixes (updated)

Hey all,

Currently with a head of faded Adore Violet Gem/Rich Eggplant and looking towards my next concoction!

I'd love to have a dark-ish plum next (not mega dark, but more jewel-y than super bright if that makes sense)
Maybe a bit like this, like a better version of the Live XXL Ultra Violet? maybe slightly darker.



I'm warming towards the idea of reddish colours in the future so i'm heading that way round the colour wheel for fun

Current box of tricks in the bathroom has some Adore Fiesta Fuchsia and whatever the Adore blue black is... and maybe some Rich Eggplant. Was thinking of mixing the three and seeing what happens (that blue black is super strong blue wise so tiny drops at a time!) Any other ideas? I really like Adore Dyes as i can get them locally really cheap and the fades are nicely predictable

Adore Bordeaux is a deep purple based shade that would be a good base for this type of shade.
The final outcome will be very dependant on your base though

oh cool, might get some of that - it just looks brown on the swatches so never even considered it tbh
Pic of my hair right now attached lighting is awful so prob not super accurate but you get the idea

atm towards the roots (i have about 1cm or less naked mousey brown regrowth) are a strongish purple still but the roots are more of a silvery blue... i kind of look like a gas flame lol, if it didn't have that faded mucky tinge it would be gorgeous!

Update - i mixed Fiesta Fuchsia (i've got too bottles I wanted to use up) with some Jet Black and a few drops of Raging Red (although i wish i hadn't added that, it's made it a lil too brown in tone for my liking, but it looked right in the pot at the time lol) and this is the result. Borderline normal colour for me lol

I didn't bother bleaching my roots as I didn't feel like it - so next time I will have to do them and will stay away from the bottle of Raging Red
