Copper-colored hair is growing in popularity again after the recent gray phase wore itself out.

Copper’s rich lustrous tone makes it ideal for those who want their hair to have a healthy glow.

How the color is made: To make Copper mix light yellow with very dark red, this will result in a deep warm hue that is reminiscent of vintage mixing bowls.

History: Historically, Copper was the first metal used by humans and as such symbolizes utilitarianism and industriousness. It is a color associated with invention and genius.
