Need help with a Burgundy/Auburn Colour?

My hair is currently around a level 10 silver blonde, with around 2 inches of level 6 dark blonde/light brown roots.

I'm looking for a burgundy/auburn shade which isn't too in your face, but could easily cover both my bleached and natural hair, and doesn't fade too badly. Obviously there will probably be quite a big fade difference, but I'm hoping eventually it'll build up and wont be as bad.. (I REALLY would like to avoid tangerine Orange hair if possible, and would definitely prefer a more brown/pink fade if possible)

I've only ever used box dye reds before learning how bad they were, so I was wondering if I could achieve a nice result with a veggie dye ๐Ÿ˜€

I'm looking for colours like these:

Thank you in advance! ๐Ÿ™‚

Have a look at Adore. they are direct dyes, so not damaging at all, and come in loads of natural and unnatural shades that you can mix to get the exact shade you want. You may need to either pre-soften with neat peroxide or do a quick bleach bath on your roots to help it to take on the unprocessed hair.

I quite like Adore Paprika, though I have a feeling it'd fade to a dreadful orange colour on my hair pretty quickly.
Would it help to mix it with a bit of a brown colour do you think? Or would I need a more vibrant red with a brown? I've never mixed dyes before! Only toners.  ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

I think a warm brown like Mocha would be a good starting point, it is quite reddish over bleached hair, especially if  diluted. Then add some dark red to add more rich auburn tones.
