A hair color chart helps you read the level and tone numbers on a dye box. Colorists use one to plan a shade. The nine pictures show levels 1 to 10 from Black to Lightest blonde, tone columns such as Ash, Gold, Copper, Mahogany and Red, and a swatch card. Type a different subject or twist, such as red shades, and the page asks for it in the same three styles.

  • reading the numbers on a dye box
  • planning a shade with a colorist
  • a swatch card to note the colors you have tried
  • a reference for a hair color class

Frequently asked questions

Can I print them?
Yes. They are drawn charts with labels, not photographs, so they print as reference sheets.
What do the numbers mean?
The level scale runs from 1, Black, to 10, Lightest blonde. Each tone is a column with a number and a name, such as .3 Gold or .5 Mahogany.
What is the difference between the styles?
Flat swatches are crisp vector shapes with gradient-free fills and charcoal numerals. Salon card is a tidy numbered card with a thin dark border. Painted strands is gouache with visible brush hairs on cream paper.
Can I ask for a different subject?
Yes. Type a direction, such as red shades, and the page asks for that subject in the same three styles. It is a request, not a guaranteed result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
