DESCRIPTION
What is Pure Pigment 0.22?
Pure Pigment 0.22 Violet by Code Zero is a reflect cream with a high concentration of pigment and an intensifying action, in a 60 ml tube: it is added to a Vibrant Color shade to make a violet reflect more intense or to bring violet into the mix. On its own it has no effect: the Code Zero leaflet specifies that it is used only mixed with the colour cream, here Vibrant Color, at most 20% of the cream. On the Code Zero Color Index violet is opposite yellow: a small amount of 0.22 tones down the yellow of a light blond.

New to Vibrant Color? How to read the code of a Pure Pigment
Vibrant Color is Code Zero's permanent colour cream, with ammonia and vegetal liposomes: more than 100 shades in 100 ml tubes. The digit before the point is the level, from 1 (black) to 10 (ultra light blond); the digits after the point are the reflect. The Pure Pigments are not shades but additives in 60 ml tubes: the 0 in place of the level means they have no level of their own, and the doubled digit is the reflect at its most intense.
| Reflect | Meaning |
|---|---|
| .0 | natural |
| .1 | ash |
| .2 | violet (irisé) |
| .3 | golden |
| .4 | copper |
| .5 | mahogany |
| .6 | red |
| .7 | tobacco |
| .8 | beige |
| .9 | blue |
The five Pure Pigments are 0.22 violet, 0.33 yellow, 0.44 orange, 0.62 red violet and 0.66 red. They do not lighten: the lift comes from the Vibrant shade and the Oxidizer.
How much 0.22 to add
The Code Zero leaflet sets the maximum: Pure Pigment up to 20% of the colour cream, that is 10 ml in 50 ml of Vibrant Color. Below that, the amount depends on how much violet is wanted: the pigment is concentrated, so a few millilitres already change the result. The amounts below the maximum are salon practice, not Code Zero data: check them with a strand test.
| 0.22 in 50 ml of Vibrant Color | Share of the cream | Use |
|---|---|---|
| 2-3 ml | about 5% | A touch of violet: tones down the yellow of light blonds and freshens a cool reflect |
| 5 ml | 10% | A visible violet reflect, for example on a natural or ash shade |
| 10 ml (maximum) | 20% | The most intense violet Code Zero allows, for violet and fashion shades |
| More than 10 ml | Over 20% | Not to be used: beyond the maximum given by Code Zero |
Pure Pigment 0.22 does not lighten: lift and white hair coverage depend on the Vibrant shade and on the Oxidizer chosen for it. On a lot of white hair the violet shows more strongly: do a strand test. Used pure, without colour cream, it has no effect (Code Zero leaflet).
Mixes with Vibrant Color and Oxidizer
In the Code Zero example the Oxidizer equals the colour cream plus the pigment: 50 ml of Vibrant Color + 10 ml of Pure Pigment with 60 ml of Oxidizer 10, 20, 30 or 40 vol, chosen for the lift or the result wanted.
| Vibrant Color | Pure Pigment 0.22 | Oxidizer |
|---|---|---|
| 50 ml | 10 ml (20%, maximum) | 60 ml (Code Zero example) |
| 50 ml | 5 ml (10%) | 55 ml |
| 50 ml | 2-3 ml (about 5%) | 52-53 ml |
| 30 ml | 3 ml (10%) | 33 ml |
Worked cases follow: a more intense violet shade, a cooler very light blond and toning on bleached hair.
Pure Pigment 0.22 with 5.20: a more intense violet brown
Starting point: natural level 5, without white hair, for a client who wants a deeper, more visible violet than 5.20 alone.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 5.20 + 10 ml of Pure Pigment 0.22 + 60 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol.
Processing time: 35-40 minutes, as the Code Zero leaflet indicates.
Result: a light brown with a more intense violet reflect than 5.20 alone. Do a strand test first.
Pure Pigment 0.22 with 10.0: a cooler very light blond
Starting point: natural level 8 or 9, never coloured, for a client who wants a very light blond without yellow.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 5 ml of Pure Pigment 0.22 + 55 ml of Oxidizer 30 vol.
Processing time: 35-40 minutes.
Result: a very light blond with the yellow toned down by the violet. The lift comes from the 10.0 and the 30 vol, not from the pigment.
Pure Pigment 0.22 on bleached hair: toning
Starting point: hair bleached to level 9-10 with some yellow left.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 2-3 ml of Pure Pigment 0.22 + 52-53 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol.
Processing time: up to 35-40 minutes, checking by sight: bleached hair takes up the violet quickly.
Result: the yellow toned down; too much 0.22 on porous lengths can leave a lilac reflect. Do a strand test first.
How to use Pure Pigment 0.22
- Wear gloves. Use a non-metal bowl and a plastic brush, both clean.
- Put the Vibrant Color cream in the bowl and add Pure Pigment 0.22, at most 20% of the cream (10 ml in 50 ml).
- Add the Oxidizer at 10, 20, 30 or 40 vol, chosen for the lift or the result wanted (in the Code Zero example 60 ml for 50 ml of cream + 10 ml of pigment); mix well and use the mix straight away.
- Apply as the Vibrant shade requires, on dry, unwashed hair; processing time 35-40 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear, then wash scalp and hair gently with Color Fixx pH 5.5 shampoo.
Expert colourist tips for Pure Pigment 0.22
- Start low: the pigment is concentrated: begin with a few millilitres and increase only after a strand test, never above 20% of the cream.
- Never on its own: without colour cream Pure Pigment has no effect: Code Zero specifies it is used only mixed with the colour cream.
- Violet against yellow: on the Code Zero Color Index violet is opposite yellow, so 0.22 tones down yellow. Against orange the blue sector works better: the ash shades (.1).
- Porous lengths: bleached or porous lengths take up the violet faster than the roots: use less pigment there, or apply it last.
New to the salon: quick guide and common mistakes
The words on this page. Pure Pigment: a concentrated reflect cream, added to a colour cream. Reflect: the shade of colour on top of the level (violet, golden, copper...). Vol: the strength of the Oxidizer (10 vol = 3%, 20 vol = 6%, 30 vol = 9%, 40 vol = 12%). Strand test: a test on a small section before the whole head.
Before you start. Choose the Vibrant shade for the level and lift needed, then decide how much violet to add. Do a strand test with the exact amounts.
Common mistakes. Using 0.22 on its own. Going above 20% of the cream. Leaving the pigment out when measuring the Oxidizer. Expecting the pigment to lighten. Using a metal bowl.

How long is the processing time?
