Is the shampoo blue or purple in color. My stylist recommends a blue (grey hair shampoo) but neither of us can find one.

This is purple. I did not find that it helped get rid of the yellowing much.

Purple. My hair is almost completely white and this shampoo keeps it from looking yellow. I have a degree in Chemical Engineering and used to work for a company (CYRO) that made acrylic sheet and they used a blue coloring to offset yellowing

I would call it a bluish purple.....light colored. I read that these grey hair shampoos should not be used more than a couple of times a month so that white hair won't start to look blue.

I don't know if you read my previous review of this product, and I am shocked your hair turned green! I only wash my hair twice a week and I used this shampoo and conditioner each time. It did turn my platinum blonde hair a lighter violet color and my medium blonde color turned purple (the tint fades after using a different shampoo in a few washes). To be honest, I got a ton of compliments on my hair after using Pravan because the purple did look pretty cool, but I wasn't using the product to get purple hair! If your hair is completely platinum blonde I would consider a different brand unless you are looking for an overall violet tint. Hope this helps!

Yes, it's purple, but I found it very drying to my hair. The Pantene Silver or the Clairol are better choices.

I have had both the shampoo and conditioner, and went to compare. All I have now is the conditioner. All I can add is that it is deep purple and doesn't lather....

I wanted blue. It looked blue in the photo. I didn't read the reviews. It's purple.

It is a dark purple. Not blue, but definitely purple. It is more violet than fuschia, so the description is correct. :) The blue is very pale aqua. I LOVE IT!!

On my friend (bleached to dirty blonde from dark brown) it turned (in ~1.5h) nice medium-dark blue-purple. She likes it :)

wow! I haven't ever transferred the shampoo to a different bottle. But when you lather with it, it is a white lather, even though the shampoo looks blue in your hand when you pour it out.

Not that I am aware of. The purpose of the shampoo helps your hair from turning purple when coloring. This is color is a result of shampooing with hard water (from what my beautician told me).

Well I have 100% white - platinum hair, so I only know how it works for me. I will say you do get some purple shades in your hair . I don't mind it, but if that's not what you're looking for than be warned. I'm very happy with this shampoo though!

I really don't know. My hair is mostly grey and I use it every time I wash my hair because it keeps the silver bright and doesn't dry out my hair. It is purple and I love it. Maybe your hairdresser can help you out. Good luck.

The one I bought as a gift was definitely purple.... That was why I chose it! It's a nice shade of purple too.

I used the blue and i have dark brown hair. It was very noticeable once it had dried. I haven't used the other colors yet but the blue does show up on dark hair.

My hair is very white and I have never had any trouble with it being purple. This is the only one that keeps it white in this Florida climate.

It depends on what shade of gray it is...if its on the yellow side, this might help you. If its anything else it will probably turn your hair a blue shade. It will work best on yellow-white hair to turn it more white. (Quick color theory lesson/ how this product works: purple is the compliment of yellow & therefore lessens the appearance of yellow. 50%purple + 50% yellow = gray, therefore If you don't have yellow hair, it will simply turn it purple.)

It will most likely turn out purple, or another color that is not so attractive, you would need to get the brassiness out of your hair to get a true blue. It's one of those colors that are a little more finicky.
