The Shade Guide

Base shades, numbered to an international standard - so a colour you already know can be found here without guesswork.

A shared language for colour.

Our shades follow the international hair extension numbering system. If you already wear extensions, the number you know translates directly to ours - and if you are matching to another brand, this is the bridge between the two.

I

A guide, not an exact

Numbers place a shade on the scale from darkest to lightest. Screens and dye lots vary, so treat these as a close guide rather than a precise promise - the final match is made by eye.

II

Not salon colour numbers

This is the extension numbering system, which runs differently from the colour system your colourist uses at the chair. A 6 here is not a 6 in a tube of tint.

Base shades, made to mix

Every shade shown is a starting point. All can be blended and rooted to your brief, and fashion colours are available on request.

The palette

The base shades

From natural black through to bleach blonde, with auburns between.

Roskosh shade chart, shades 1 to 613

The chart is a digital representation. The truest way to choose is to see the hair in person or on a consultation call.

Beyond the chart

If your shade is not here

The chart is where we begin, not where we end. Most clients wear something built rather than picked.

Blended

Two or more base shades combined to sit exactly between the numbers, the way real hair rarely lands on one.

Rooted

A deeper shade drawn through the roots into a lighter length, for grown-out depth or a shadow root.

Fashion colours

Pastels, brights and unconventional tones, coloured to request in our atelier on the same virgin base.

Matched to you

Send a photograph or your current shade number and we will translate it, or tell you honestly if it cannot be met.
