Dark Hair Color Trends Fall/Winter 2025-2026

Last week we shared the light hair color trends, now it's time for the dark side of the palette. The dark hair color trends for autumn and winter 2025-2026 are intense, sophisticated, and rich in shine. From copper to chocolate and espresso: these are the colors that will dominate this season.

Liquid Copper – Warmth and shine

Copper remains indispensable, but in 2025, it's all about a glossy finish. This color works best with natural red or auburn hair, but is also beautiful on fair skin with freckles.
Color tip --> Use shade 6.4 or 8.4 for a vibrant, warm result.

Ginger Spice – Cinnamon, copper and red

An almost cinnamon-like red shade, but above all a warm color with red and orange tones, resembling the color of ginger root and ranging from a subtle reddish-brown to a vibrant, fiery red, depending on the specific shade and hair type.
Color tip --> Choose a mix of a copper and red shade here. The composition depends on the base color of the hair and whether you prefer more red or more copper.

Cherry Cola – Deep brown with red sheen

For those who love deep red colors, the cherry cola shade is a must. This mix of dark brown with ruby red reflections gives the hair depth and warmth. In sunlight (or under party lights), the color truly comes alive.
Color tip --> Use one of our chocolate shades with a touch of Mix Intense Red for the shine in the light.

Smoky Brunette – Mysterious & matte

The classic brunette gets an update with a smoky, matte finish. Think deep chocolate brown mixed with ash brown and grey undertones. This colour looks mysterious, mature and elegant – ideal for those who love subtle luxury.
Colour tip --> Mix a chocolate shade with 6.1 in equal parts for a cool, modern look.

Mocha Mousse – Warm and rich

Brunettes beware! The colour Mocha Mousse is the hair colour of the year for those who love warm, rich tones. This deep, luxurious colour combines chocolate brown tones with a hint of cooler shades for a multidimensional look.
Colour tip --> Use 2/3 chocolate shade + 1/3 6.1 for a subtle multidimensional effect.

Espresso Martini Brown – Deep, dark and refined

Inspired by the popular cocktail; one of the most refined trends of 2025 is Espresso Martini Brown. This rich, dark hair colour combines deep espresso tones with subtle caramel highlights, creating a luxurious and multidimensional look.
Colour tip --> Use 5.88 for the base colour, with highlights in golden shade 6.3.
