How do I turn a color, for example purple passion, into a softer pastel type of shade? Mixing colors? Which? Thank you!!

You can buy their clear color which is good for turning the colors lighter but you can always just mix the dye with some regular white-colored conditioner

You can mix it with their Crystal clear and it will get it to be lighter. If you visit their web site they have mixes you can do to get certain colors.

Hi Grace. Although I love Sparks for their bright colors, if you are looking for a pastel shade I recommend Pravana Pastels. You can choose their lavender color and it comes out beautifully. Make sure to preligthen your hair to bleach blonde first for optimum results. If you do decide to go with the darker Sparks purple shade it will fade into a light purple after a few washes. Hope that helps!

Usually you'd have to mix the color with a white conditioner but for some reason the sparks purple is really rich so if you're trying to achieve a pastel color make sure the hair that you're dying is as blonde as possible. The hair you're about to dye should be close to a #613. You'd take literally a dot of the purple dye and mix it with the white conditioner until you get the desired color. Each color requires a different amount of conditioner. You'll just have to keep adding conditioner until you reach a color of your liking.

I use Sparks Premium Long Lasting Bright Hair Color Dyes (Crystal Clear) any other clear dye medium will work to most of the semi permanent dye brands carry one. A little purple goes al ong way with the sparks I use a smidgen of purple to a whole tube of clear.

Lamps Plus. Or google lamp shades and click on images and come up with your own idea. Maybe cut a pretty but inexpensiveShade in half or find a piece of glass. Who knows what your imagination will bring!!!!

Hi there - there is a mixture of light to medium pink and purple plus a mauve color in this set. I think that this set would blend well in a lavender room. I hesitate to say that the light purple is lavender as there is so many different hues of purple/lavender colors in a color wheel. The benefit of this set is that there is a wide array of colors that it should blend well in a lavender room. I hope this answer helps you. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Take care.

Sorry, I don't know about the shade you asked about. I used to use #4 Fair Ivory, but recently ordered #102 Pastelle because I couldn't find #4. Actually like #102 better.

I don't think I could help you out much. I used a light gray/white color but I added metallic color and glitter...I love it and I have had mine done over a year now. I wish I could post a picture for you.

I'm guessing you're talking about the oil pastels. They are similar to crayons but you can blend, smudge and layer the colors more easily for effect. Start out treating them kinda like crayons and use blending stumps or your finger to smudge them. You can google oil pastels for more info.

You must have pre-lightened hair to achieve maximum color vibrancy. Dying the purple on top of a dark hair color may give you subtle highlights but that isn't guaranteed.

Hello Maria, Thanks for writing :) Yes we are working on a dark eggplant shade of purple. If you are interested in a Cranberry shade of lip color we suggest trying our herbal lip stains!

You have to combine colors to create another one. The small tabs are to enhance the color.

Try white 97% mixed with 1.5% yellow and 1.5% brown until you have the beige you want, skin tone may need some more red and blue

I definitely think they will work with you to give you the color you want. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend calling them on the phone or by email to see if they can mix the color you want.

I did the light purple and it had no red hues, I'm not sure about the dark purple though

I only got three colors. Purple, green, and a gold color. I don't know if it changes per case. If it helps, my brother in law spray painted a few black and it works amazingly. So if you don't get the colors you need, that's a quick and easy fix. It doesn't bleed or drip or warp the material :-) Good luck!! (BTW my son still plays with these!!)

Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product! What color is your natural hair or the area of hair which your attempting to color? It will make a difference in your results. I would suggest if you attempting to add a lighter-lilac/lavender color, test a mixture of clear Elumen and a drop( a dime size) of VV@all on a color pallet. I would also add taking the color you have created and test it on a white surface(suggested paper to see if it is the desired color you want). I hope this information will help in finding the solution to adding the light lilac/lavender color you want. :) Good Luck! Hi Silvermiss,I love Goldwell Elumen Product!

Sorry I can't help with that. They have several different colors to choose from. I would ask at the paint store if they can mix whatever you want. Must likely they can
