Olives
The matte brunette. No warmth, no flatness.
Medium cool-toned matte brown — all warmth neutralised, sophisticated olive cast.
Why this shade
Olive is the secret weapon for cancelling stubborn red-orange pulls without the silver-grey side-effect of a pure ash. The green anchor neutralises the warm complement directly, leaving a sophisticated matte brunette that reads as deliberately styled, not corrective.
Who it's for
The brunette who pulls aggressively red — Mediterranean, Latin, South Asian, or any naturally warm-base who has fought brass for years. The fashion-forward client who reads industry magazines and asks for "olive brunette" or "cold brunette" by name.
- Aggressively red-pulling natural brunettes
- Fashion-conscious clients who follow editorial colour trends
- Corrective work where ash has failed to neutralise stubborn red
In the chair
Apply neat or mix with 6N (50/50) to soften the matte effect. Olive deposits look greenish on white developer — this is normal; it reads as cool-neutral on hair. Recommend at least 3 weeks before the next gloss to let the green fade naturally rather than overlap.
- Looks green in the bowl — reads cool brown on hair
- Mix with 6N 50/50 to soften the matte cast
- Space services 3+ weeks apart to avoid green build-up
On clients with very pale skin: dilute 6GN with 6N at 30/70 — full Olives can read flat on pale complexions. The dilution preserves the cooling without the editorial heaviness.
