Cool Ash Blonde challenge accepted. Indoor lighting only, I'm afraid, but I know I'll forget to get outdoor lighting tomorrow and something's better than nothing.

First shot with no flash, second with flash.





From top to bottom:

Dark Brown
Medium Brown
Light Brown
Cool Ash Blonde
Butterscotch Blonde
Natural Blonde
White

Hope this helps! (I'd call "cool ash blonde" a very natural color. It looks like a dirty blonde shade to my eyes.)

Awww, thanks. Glad I could help! I'm thinking of taking advantage of the sale myself. (If anyone else wants a comparison next to other colors for some reason, let me know. I got the color ring purely to differentiate the two types of red, and I don't want it to go to waste. I can't guarantee complete color accuracy, but I can at least put colors next to each other for relative shades!)

EDIT: When I was putting the swatches back on the color ring, I noticed that Peach is in the same lightness/color range as Cool Ash Blonde. Here are two more comparison pics - it really shows off how natural CAB looks. There is definitely brown in the mix.

As before, these are with indoor lighting, first without flash and then with. Peach is the first color and Cool Ash Blonde is the second, if it's not obvious.

I like peach. It's not too pinky, it seems. Definitely a little more desaturated than I thought it would be.

Hmm, it might be a little light for what I want...but on the other hand, I think it's the closest I've been able to find. Oh, John Watson, why is it so hard to match your hair color!? Thanks so much, starcat!

Looks like we're doing the same character. XD Perfect.

If anyone has the time, I'd love to see the super short if anyone has one.

I have a few research questions for cosplayers in Europe who regularly purchase cosplay wigs. Even if you haven't ordered from Cosplay.com but are considering, that's perfectly fine.

So if you are in Europe and would be willing to spend a few minutes chatting, please send me a quick PM and I'll write back to you over the weekend. Thanks!

I recommend getting a weft int he same shade to smooth out the line a big more as the hair line is not design to be shown.



MisatoNpenpen if you looking for a photo for the colour it might take a bit of time to see one of the new wig in that shade but here is a swatch ring comparison photo.
