New to Vibrant Color? How to read the shade code
Vibrant Color is Code Zero's permanent colour cream, with ammonia and vegetal liposomes: more than 100 shades in 100 ml tubes, arranged in families on the colour chart (naturals, ash, golden, copper, red, tobacco, beige and more). Every shade is mixed 1:1 with Oxidizer, except the 90 superbleaching shades (1:1.5). The digit before the point is the level, from 1 (black) to 10 (ultra light blond); the digits after the point are the reflect.
| Reflect | Meaning |
|---|---|
| .0 | natural |
| .1 | ash |
| .2 | violet (irisé) |
| .3 | golden |
| .4 | copper |
| .5 | mahogany |
| .6 | red |
| .7 | tobacco |
| .8 | beige |
| .9 | blue |
The first digit after the point is the main reflect (7.43 = copper golden); a doubled digit means an intense reflect (.11 = intense ash). The + sign marks the intense naturals, with more pigment (7.+). The 90 shades are the superbleaching shades, lifting up to 4-5 tones; 01 and 09 are toners; 0.22 to 0.66 are the Pure Pigments, added to the mix.
The starting base decides the colour
Vibrant Color 10.0 deposits natural pigment, with no added reflect, and on natural hair lifts up to 3½-4 tones: on the Code Zero table its lifting power is 3½-4. The result is the shade plus what the hair already contains: first look at the base, that is the level, the percentage of white hair and whether the hair is natural, coloured or bleached, then choose the Oxidizer. The Code Zero colour chart shows on which bases 10.0 gives the best result. On the Code Zero colour wheel (Color Index) the naturals from 2.0 to 10.0 sit in the blue-violet sector: 10.0 is a neutral-cool ultra light blond that adds no warmth.
| Starting base | Oxidizer | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Level 10 (very good) | 20 vol; 10 vol without white hair | Tone on tone, covers white hair |
| Level 9 (very good) | 20 vol | Lifts by 1 tone and covers the white hair at level 10 |
| Level 10 with more than 70% white hair | 20 vol | Covers, but the result can come out slightly lighter and flatter: see the tips |
| Level 8 (very good) | 30 vol | Lifts by 2 tones |
| Level 7 (good) | 30 vol | Lifts by 3 tones: the result stays slightly warmer than the chart strand |
| Level 6 (fair) | 40 vol | Lifts up to 4 tones, the maximum for 10.0: the result stays darker and warmer than the chart strand |
| Level 5 or darker | Outside the range of 10.0: lighten first with Level Out Powder | Then 10.0 with 10 vol |
| Bleached hair | 10 vol | Deposit, no lift: a natural ultra light blond over the bleached base |
Mixing ratio 1:1. The processing time does not change with the volume: first application 30-40 minutes in total, touch-up 30 minutes. A colour does not lift an artificial colour: on coloured hair it only deposits. Ratings from the Code Zero colour chart: very good = the result matches the chart strand; good = full result with a slight difference; fair = acceptable but less faithful result: if possible, choose a shade closer to the base. Level 10 is the lightest level of the naturals: to lift further, the range has the 90 superbleaching shades, such as 90.0 Superbleaching Natural Blond.
Vibrant Color 10.0 mixes and amounts
The ratio is always 1:1: for each part of cream, one part of Oxidizer.
| Cream | Oxidizer | When |
|---|---|---|
| 25 ml | 25 ml | regrowth only on short hair |
| 50 ml | 50 ml | an average service: regrowth and lengths down to the shoulders |
| 75 ml | 75 ml | long or thick hair |
| 100 ml (whole tube) | 100 ml | very long hair, or two average services |
Worked cases follow, from the first application to the dark base that needs lightening.
Vibrant Color 10.0 on natural level 10 hair with white hair: first application
Starting point: natural level 10, never coloured, with white hair.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1).
Processing time: on the lengths and ends, starting 2 cm from the root, for 10-15 minutes; then on the roots for a further 20-25 minutes.
Result: tone on tone at level 10, white hair covered.
Vibrant Color 10.0 on the regrowth: touch-up
Starting point: natural regrowth with white hair, lengths already coloured with 10.0.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1).
Processing time: 20 minutes on the regrowth, then comb through all the hair for a further 10 minutes.
Result: even roots and lengths.
Vibrant Color 10.0 on natural level 9 hair: one tone lighter
Starting point: natural level 9, never coloured, with or without white hair, for a client who wants a lighter blond.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:1).
Processing time: as for the first application, 30-40 minutes in total.
Result: level 10, white hair covered. Lifting brings out the yellow undertone of the base: for a more neutral result see the tips.
Vibrant Color 10.0 on natural level 8 hair: two tones lighter
Starting point: natural level 8, never coloured, without white hair.
Formula: 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 30 vol (1:1).
Processing time: as for the first application, 30-40 minutes in total.
Result: level 10, with a warmer undertone than the chart strand: for a more neutral result see the tips.
Vibrant Color 10.0 on a level 5 or darker base: first lightening, then colour
Step 1, lightening: 35 g of Level Out Powder + 70 ml of Oxidizer 20 vol (1:2), on dry, unwashed hair. Check every 5 minutes and stop when the hair reaches level 10; in 45 minutes at room temperature Level Out lifts 5-6 levels.
Step 2, colour, the same day: rinse, towel dry, then apply 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 + 50 ml of Oxidizer 10 vol (1:1), the volume the Code Zero leaflet gives for colouring bleached hair, for 20-30 minutes, checking by sight: freshly lightened hair takes colour faster.
Note: first a strand test to see the result.
How to use Vibrant Color 10.0
- Wear gloves. Mix in a non-metal bowl with a plastic brush, both clean.
- Mix 50 ml of Vibrant Color 10.0 with 50 ml of Oxidizer (1:1) just before use, choosing the volume from the table above, and use the mix straight away. Apply to dry, unwashed hair.
- First application (never coloured hair): apply to the lengths and ends starting 2 cm from the root; after 10-15 minutes apply to the roots and leave on for a further 20-25 minutes.
- Touch-up: apply to the regrowth and leave on for 20 minutes, then comb through all the hair for a further 10 minutes.
- Emulsify with a little warm water, massaging for 3-4 minutes, rinse thoroughly and finish with Color Fixx pH 5.5 shampoo.
Expert colourist tips for Vibrant Color 10.0
- Resistant white hair: start the application where the white hair is most glassy (temples, hairline, parting), with 20 vol and the full processing time. If coverage is still weak, 10.+ Intense Ultra Light Blond, with a higher pigment load, can be used on its own or half and half with 10.0.
- A lot of white hair: above 70% white hair, 10.0 can come out lighter and flatter than the chart strand. For a fuller blond use 10.+, or half 10.0 and half 9.0, always with 20 vol and the full processing time.
- Lifting from level 7-8: the warm undertone of the base comes through and the result can turn yellow. For a neutral 10, add up to a quarter of 10.1 Ultra Light Ash Blond to the mix.
- Bleached hair with a yellow undertone: 10.0 deposits a natural ultra light blond and does not neutralise the yellow. For a cooler result, add up to a quarter of 10.1 Ultra Light Ash Blond to the mix, with 10 vol.
- Lengths at the touch-up: the colour builds up on the lengths with every service and the ends turn darker and duller. For the last 10 minutes on the lengths prepare a second bowl with Oxidizer 10 vol, or 5 vol (10 vol and 0 vol in equal parts) if the ends are very porous.
- Lighter than 10.0: 10.0 is the lightest of the naturals. For more lift on natural hair use 90.0 Superbleaching Natural Blond (1:1.5 with 30 or 40 vol, 45-50 minutes, up to 4-5 tones, according to the Code Zero leaflet); on coloured hair a colour does not lift a colour and lightening is needed.
New to the salon: quick guide and common mistakes
The words on this page. Level: how light or dark the hair is, from 1 (black) to 10 (platinum blond). Reflect: the tone of the colour; .0 means natural, no added reflect. Vol: the strength of the Oxidizer (10 vol = 3%, 20 vol = 6%, 30 vol = 9%, 40 vol = 12%). Regrowth: the new hair at the root. Deposit: colour added without lifting. Tone on tone: same level as the base.
Before you start. Determine the level of the base. Assess the percentage of white hair. Do a strand test on a new base.
Common mistakes. Expecting 10.0 to lift more than 4 tones. Colouring over an artificial colour expecting it to lift. Choosing the volume before looking at the base. Using a metal bowl. Using Oxidizer 0 vol on its own: it does not develop the colour.

FAQ
Which Oxidizer volume does Vibrant Color 10.0 need?
According to the Code Zero leaflet: 10 vol to darken or colour without lifting, also on bleached hair; 20 vol for tone on tone and to cover white hair; 30 vol to lift more, for resistant hair and for first applications; 40 vol for ultra-lightening. With 10.0, in practice 20 vol with white hair or to lift 1 tone, 10 vol without white hair, 30 vol from a level 7-8 base and 40 vol only from a level 6 base.
20 vol or 30 vol for the first application?
The Code Zero leaflet also gives 30 vol for first applications: on very resistant virgin hair it helps the colour take, but it lifts the base slightly. On a level 9-10 base with 10.0 20 vol is usually enough; keep 30 vol for darker bases and for virgin hair that does not take the colour.
How much Vibrant Color 10.0 does one service need?
50 ml of cream with 50 ml of Oxidizer. One 100 ml tube covers two services of this amount.
Does Vibrant Color 10.0 cover white hair?
Yes, with Oxidizer 20 vol, as the Code Zero leaflet indicates.
Is 10.0 enough on a lot of white hair?
It covers with 20 vol. Above 70% white hair the result can come out lighter and flatter than the chart strand: for a fuller blond use 10.+ or half 10.0 and half 9.0.
Can 10.0 be used on a darker base?
Down to level 6: 10.0 lifts up to 3½-4 tones on natural hair, with 30 vol from level 7-8 and 40 vol from level 6. Darker than that, lighten first and then colour.
How long is the processing time?
First application: 10-15 minutes on the lengths and ends, then a further 20-25 minutes after applying the roots. Touch-up: 20 minutes on the regrowth plus 10 minutes on all the hair.
Does Vibrant Color contain ammonia?
Yes. Ammonium Hydroxide appears in the INCI.
Can a developer from another brand be used?
The Code Zero leaflet specifies Code Zero's OXI oxidising emulsion, sold as Oxidizer from 0 to 40 vol: the ratios and times on this page apply with this developer.
