View the official Watercolors chartThis chart covers three Watercolors color products. BB Demi is an ammonia-free, deposit-only demi mixed one to one with BB Demi Color Processor in an applicator bottle and processed 20 minutes at room temperature; resistant hair can go under a cap and dryer. BB Clear sheers any shade, and Colourage Concentrates can be added. DD Intense is a line of vivid direct dyes applied straight from the tube to pre-lightened hair. Base Drops are concentrated direct dye drops mixed into conditioner, fewer for pastel and more for bold, on level 7 or lighter.
