The colour families:
Before we discuss colour codes, it is important to have some understanding of the industry-standard colour families. Reference this chart when translating a colour code. For example, if your colour code has the number 6, you will know that is a brown.
Black: 1, 2
Brown: 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Blonde: 14, 16, 17, 18, 22, 24, 26
Red: 27, 28, 30, 31, 32, 33 and 130, 131, 132, 134
Grey: 34, 36, 38, 39, 44, 48, 51, 54, 56, 59, 60 and 92
Platinum: 101, 102, 104 and 613
The colour codes:
An example:
Let’s put into practice what we just outlined and break down a colour code: FS26/31S6, also known as Salted Caramel. FS stands for Fashion Syrup and means this colour blend will have bold highlights. The colours that are being blended are 26 and 31. If we refer to the colour families chart, we will see that 26 is a blonde and 31 is a red colour. The next segment of our colour code is S6. The S means our colour blend is shaded at the root with an additional colour. In this case, it is colour 6, a brown.
