Mixing ADORE dyes to get a "pumpkin spice" color?

My goal is a coppery, relatively natural looking "pumpkin spice" shade, like in the photos.

I currently have yellow-to-light orange bleached hair, so I'm not sure how that would affect my color choices.

Anyone know of a good mix of Adore colors to get what I'm aiming for, and/or have any advice on how these the different colors will look on my yellow/orange bleached hair?

Thanks!!

I'd strongly recommend doing a strand test - if you have long hair, probably best to harvest some from your hairbrush for this, then you can really easily compare it in different lights.

I used to have hair all different shades of red, and I remember using Adore Paprika over an orangey base for about the colour you're after. I think I might have mixed some other dyes in there too. If I was going for that colour now, I'd mix the Adore dye with conditioner, and perhaps a little of a deeper red as well. And even if you don't strand test, it's not like it'll be damaging to keep topping up the colour until it's the one you want πŸ™‚ Good luck!

Thanks for the help! I ended up ordering 5 of the coppery/red shades to play with, and I believe I have Paprika was one that I chose, can't wait to try it out!
