Professional guide

How to read an Absolutes shade

Absolutes uses Igora numbering with its own twist: the trailing 0 is the natural coverage background. 7-560 = level 7, gold + chocolate over a natural base.

  • Level (4-9): color depth.
  • Schwarzkopf reflects: -1 cendré, -4 beige, -5 gold, -6 chocolate, -7 copper, -8 red.
  • Age Blend series (three digits, like -140 or -460): double reflect + natural background, built for elegant gray transitions.

The SilverWhite sub-series (Dove Grey, Grey Lilac, Slate Grey) is a demi-permanent toning range for white hair and sits outside this chart.

Everything you need to know

The audience and the background. Absolutes is formulated for mature hair: every shade carries a natural coverage background (the trailing 0), a Pro-Age complex, and low odour. Igora Royal is the generalist permanent with the full reflect chart. Same house, same base chemistry, different specialization.

Schwarzkopf official: 1:1 with IGORA ROYAL Oil Developer at 9% (30 vol) for coverage and equalizing up to 90% gray, and 6% (20 vol) for pure deposit above 90%. Processing 30 to 45 minutes.

A demi-permanent toning sub-series for white or gray hair (Dove Grey, Grey Lilac, Slate Grey): mixed 1:1 with 3% (10 vol) Oil Developer, up to 20 minutes. It is not permanent and has no level, which is why it does not appear on this chart.
