The color in the tube looks like a very dark black and when applied the same, but in fact it is a bluish black which does not dry out the hair very much, I like that it does not have that smell of paint and it is easy to apply , what I don't like is that dark blue is visible on blonde hair and it lasts very little, already on the 2nd wash a lighter blue can be seen or purple, he did curls on the part where I was blonde , but I recommend it if you want to make a once-in-a-lifetime change for a few days and not regret it if you do it permanently 🥰🥰🥰🥰
