Brown · Level 6

Mushroom Brown Gray Coverage, Honestly Rated.

Mushroom Brown offers partial gray coverage. Partial gray blending — softens and blends early grays but won't fully cover stubborn whites.

Best for the first 30% of gray: it softens sparkle into dimension. Past that, pair it as a gloss over a full-coverage base in a nearby level-6 shade.
