Since 1956Schwarzkopf Professional has been a leading provider of hair color products, offering innovative solutions for professional use. The brand stands for intense color results, high color intensity, and exceptional shine. With a wide range of hair colors, Schwarzkopf meets the individual needs of both hairdressers and end consumers alike.

Schwarzkopf hair color palette

The Schwarzkopf Professional color palette includes various product lines, most notably Igora Royal, known for its outstanding performance. It is complemented by BlondMe, designed specifically for blonding services. Each line offers a wide range of shades that can be mixed together to create customized and perfectly tailored color results.

Red hair color by Schwarzkopf

For intense red tones, Schwarzkopf hair colors offer a wide selection of shades within the Igora Royal series. These colors are known for their excellent coverage, long-lasting results, and brilliant shine. The Fashion Lights line is especially popular for creating vibrant reds with multidimensional effects.

Blonde hair color by Schwarzkopf

The BlondMe series is specifically designed for blonde hair and allows lightening of up to 9 levels with the Premium Lightener 9+. This line combines bleaching with care to optimally protect the hair.

From Igora Royal, products such as Vario Blond provide cool blonde tones, while Highlifts deliver extra-light, luminous shades.

Brown hair color by Schwarzkopf

Schwarzkopf brown tones are available in various intensities — from deep dark brown to cool ash brown shades. The Igora Royal Absolutes series is particularly well-suited for mature hair, offering both rich color and gentle care.

Ammonia-free Schwarzkopf hair color

Schwarzkopf Igora Zero Amm is 100% ammonia-free and provides natural-looking color results with maximum coverage. Thanks to innovative technologies such as Phytolipid Technology, the hair is protected while still achieving intense color results. This line is ideal for anyone who wants to avoid harsh chemicals without compromising on vibrancy or performance.

What do the numbers mean?

The numbers on Schwarzkopf hair colors follow an international system that indicates both the base tone and the reflects (undertones). Here’s a simple explanation:

1. The first number – The color depth (base tone)

This number (1–10) indicates how dark or light the color is:

1 Black
2 Dark brown
3 Medium brown
4 Light brown
5 Dark blonde
6 Medium blonde
7 Blonde
8 Light blonde
9 Very light blonde
10 Platinum blonde

2. The second number – The primary reflect (color direction)

0 Natural (no reflects)
1 Ash (cool blue/violet tone)
2 Matte (greenish tone)
3 Gold (warm yellow tone)
4 Copper (orange tone)
5 Mahogany (reddish-violet tone)
6 Red
7 Violet

3. The third number – The secondary reflect (optional)

If a third number is present, it indicates the second strongest reflect. Example:

  • 7.77 = Intense copper blonde
  • 6.12 = Medium blonde with an ashy primary reflect and a matte secondary reflect

Difference compared to Schwarzkopf Brillance hair color

While Schwarzkopf Professional products such as Igora Royal are designed for professional use, the Brillance line is intended for end consumers who want to color their hair at home. Brillance offers intense colors that last up to 10 weeks, but without the same flexibility and range of shades available in the professional series.

Conclusion: Schwarzkopf hair color passes the test!

Schwarzkopf Professional hair colors impress in tests with their easy application, high color accuracy, and long-lasting results. The reliable gray coverage and the brilliant shine of the colors are particularly praised.
