How To Choose The Right Copper Hair Colour For You

Your ultimate guide to choosing the perfect Copper Hair Colour Shade.

Craving that Strawberry glow? Obsessed with those Cowboy russet Tones? A pale Peachy Blonde that looks like it was bottled at sunset?
Choosing a Copper Hair Colour can feel like opening Pandora’s box. There are so many beautiful variations that you might just fall in love with more than one.
That is exactly why we created this guide. Consider it your Copper Bible. Inside, we break down the different Copper Hair Colour Shades, explain how each one looks, who it suits, and how the pigment mix changes the result.
Our Copper range keeps growing because Copper is endlessly blendable. You can dial it up to blazing bright or soften it into creamy Peach. The only tricky part is choosing. So let’s make it simple.
We break Copper into four key variations to help you choose the right Copper Shade for your skin tone, style and Colour goals.



1. Pure & Intense Copper

Think: bold, bright, unapologetically Copper
These are pure Copper Shades with no added pigments softening things down. Just vibrant Copper pigment doing what it does best.
If you want your Hair drenched in Copper brilliance, this is your lane.
Ideal for warm skin undertones
Those who suit bronzed, Golden makeup
Blue or Green eyes that you want to absolutely pop




8.44 Intense Copper Blonde

Light and bright
Double Copper pigment
Intense, show stopping Copper
This is your bold “orange” Copper Blonde. It is bright enough to turn heads but still deep enough to feel rich and saturated. If you are going all in, this is the statement Shade.

6.4 Dark Copper Blonde

Darker depth
Single pure Copper reflect
Natural Copper hues
This Shade balances richness and brightness beautifully. The Dark Blonde base gives it depth, while the pure Copper reflect keeps it vibrant. It is bold but wearable, making it a versatile choice for many skin tones.

3. Cool & Natural Copper

Think: Cowgirl Copper, Peach Blonde, Apricot Cream
Love Copper but want it softer? Less brazen? More creamy than fiery? These blends combine Copper with Natural or Beige bases to smooth and dilute intensity. You still get that Copper glow, just in a calmer, more wearable form.
Ideal for Warm skin tones
Neutral skin tones wanting a softer Copper
Anyone craving pastel or muted Copper Shades




Cowgirl Copper

A deeper, more Natural Copper Blonde
Natural Blonde base
Dark Copper blended through
Muted, leathery warmth
You get iconic Cowboy Copper, but toned down. It is the least flashy Copper, yet still rich with warm leather hues.

Peach Blonde

Soft, pastel Copper energy
Light Natural Blonde base
Subdued Copper pigment
Smoothed intensity
Copper is fully present but diluted into a softer, creamy Peach finish. Perfect if you want a gentle Copper transformation rather than a bold blaze.

Apricot Blonde

Peaches and cream in Hair form
Extra Light Beige Blonde base
Small dose of Copper
Creamy, cooled down finish
This is the lightest Copper mix, ideal for transforming Light Blonde Hair into a delicate Apricot tone. It glosses beautifully over pre-lightened Blonde and creates a soft Peaches and cream effect.

4. Copper & Red Blends

Think: Rich Copper Red, Dark Plum Fire
When Red and Copper combine, Red becomes dominant. Copper acts as the light-catching reflector that adds dimension and that trademark ginger spark. These Shades feel deeper, richer, and slightly cooler than pure Copper.
Ideal for those who suit pure Red or cooler Reds
Darker Hair bases
Anyone wanting to explore Copper without going fully orange




7.46 Rich Copper Red

Red based
Copper reflect brightening the Colour
Cooler, fuller Red Shade
Think: Red first, Copper burst second. This is a radiant fire Red with a cooler blue-based Red foundation, lifted by Copper shimmer.

This mix creates a mysterious, deeper Red with light-catching Copper woven throughout. You get warmth and depth all at once. Ideal for neutral, warm, and cool skin tones.
