View the official Elumen chartElumen colors without peroxide, ammonia, oxidative dyes or PPD, using an acidic formula that carries direct dyes into the hair. The service has three steps: spray Elumen Prepare and dry the hair completely, saturate with color for up to 30 minutes, then apply Elumen Lock for 5 minutes and rinse. Codes are written tone first, then depth, so NB@7 is a natural beige at level 7, while @All Pures such as RR@All and TQ@All work at any level. Elumen Play, the semi-permanent fashion range, also appears here: it processes 30 minutes without heat or 20 with heat.
