Hair 101: What Is A Beige Hair Colour?

Dive into the timeless charm of Beige Hair Tones—soft, creamy, and effortlessly chic.

“Beige” gets a bad rap as the Colour of grannie's slacks, bland decor, and Mr. Big’s married life. But as a Hair Colour? Beige is the chic, creamy tone that flatters nearly everyone, bringing dulled warmth and calm. It’s the perfect blend of understated and stylish—think timeless, think effortlessly Cool. Beige Hair isn’t dull; it’s the subtle, sophisticated statement you’ll love.

What is a Beige Pigment?

Prepare yourself—we’re about to get a little hairdresser-y here. In our Colour Number System, Cool pigments range from the Coolest, .1 (Ash), to the Warmest, .6 (Red). Beige sits at .2, right between the Cool Ash (.1) and the Warmer Gold (.3), making it a Cool pigment but without Ash’s intensity or bright Golden Warmth.

Beige is Cooled by Green Undertones (not a crazy Colour), which are subtler than the bold Blue pigments found in Ash. So think of Beige as a soft, creamy Cool Tone—less extreme than Ash. You’ll see Beige in Blonde Shades, where it adds a Natural, classic touch with a hint of sparkle and dimension.

Why Do I Want A Beige Tone?

Finding the perfect Blonde isn’t always easy. Yellow Blondes can quickly turn brassy, and while Ash Tones have their charm, they can sometimes leave certain skin tones looking washed out—or worse, highlight redness. Enter Beige: the perfectly balanced, smoother option.

Beige is adored for its soft, Natural Tone that flatters almost every skin type. As a Cool Colour, it doubles as an ideal Toner, giving your Hair a subtle glow without any of the yellow. The soft, pearly finish of Beige lets you shine without extremes—never too bright, never too muted. It’s that timeless, universally flattering shade that leaves you polished and glowing, every time.

Where Do I Find Beige?

Naturally, you'll find Beige in Shades that have "Beige" in the name. But, more specifically, Beige pigments are marked with the number .2 in our Colour Number System. In our range, you can shop our pure Beige pigments in these Shades:
