Hair Color Calculator
The Hair Color Calculator estimates recommended hair colors based on your natural hair color, skin tone, eye color, and intensity preferences. This tool helps beauty enthusiasts and salon-goers find shades that perfectly harmonize with their unique features. Whether you are seeking a subtle refresh, planning a bold transformation, or need low-maintenance options, this tool provides personalized suggestions to boost your confidence.
How Recommended Hair Color Is Calculated
Recommended hair colors are determined by mapping your physical traits to color theory principles. The algorithm analyzes your inputs to identify your specific color category—warm, cool, or neutral—and matches them with complementary palettes.
The Calculation Logic
The tool uses a weighted scoring method to ensure harmony:
- Color Match Score: We calculate a score based on skin tone (40%), natural hair level (30%), and eye color (20%).
- Intensity Filter: We adjust the suggestions based on your 1-10 intensity input. Low scores select natural shades, while high scores allow for dramatic, contrasting colors.
- Maintenance Check: The system filters out high-maintenance options like platinum if you are unwilling to commit to regular salon visits.
What Your Recommended Hair Color Means
Your result is the ideal shade to enhance your natural beauty and contrast. It serves as a guide to help you communicate effectively with a stylist or choose the right box dye.
Interpreting Your Results
Intensity Breakdown
Levels 1-4 (Subtle): These results, like glossing or baby lights, add dimension with low risk. They grow out gracefully and require very little maintenance.
Levels 5-7 (Moderate): Expect rich single processes or balayage. These provide a noticeable change and require salon visits every 8-12 weeks.
Levels 8-10 (Dramatic): These include platinum blonde or vivid fashion colors. They offer maximum visual impact but require high maintenance to prevent damage and brassiness.

Use your result as a starting point and bring a photo to your stylist to discuss how the specific shade will work with your hair's texture.
