Basic Blue 99 and Basic Red 51 are the entire pigment package — the same two dyes as Pink Pop, with the proportions swung toward blue instead of red. Fewer pigments at higher concentration is what makes a colour bomb rather than a tonal refresh, and it is why Maria Nila flags this shade as needing dilution on lighter hair to avoid over-intensity or staining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe genuinely useful thing to understand about this shade is that it does not look like one colour. Maria Nila describes it as bringing purple and violet tones, and the range also describes a burgundy result — both are accurate, because a translucent violet deposit shows differently depending on what sits underneath it. On a pre-lightened base the blue reads clearly and you get purple. On a level 4 or 5 brunette the underlying red-brown warmth shows through the violet and the result reads as burgundy or deep plum. Same tube, two different colours, decided entirely by your starting base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt sits in the same conditioning masque as the rest of the line, with argan oil, panthenol and hydrolysed wheat protein, and deposits for four to ten washes. Maria Nila also warns not to use it before any bleach treatment, as remaining pigment can cause discolouration during lightening — worth planning around if a salon appointment is coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Active Ingredient(s)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Blue 99:\u003c\/strong\u003e The dominant pigment in this shade. It is the same blue that does gentle neutralising work elsewhere in the range, carried here at a far higher concentration so that it reads as visible colour rather than as a toner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Red 51:\u003c\/strong\u003e The high-intensity red that turns the blue into violet.

Violet is a low-reflectance tone that can look heavy and matte on rough hair, so cuticle smoothing keeps it looking like colour rather than like coating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmodimethicone Copolymer and PEG-12 Dimethicone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conditioning silicones with an affinity for damaged cuticle. They even out the surface so a highly saturated pigment spreads uniformly instead of concentrating in porous patches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eModa Pro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrand test this shade on a hidden piece before you commit, and choose the piece from where your hair is darkest, not lightest. Because violet reads purple over light hair and burgundy over dark, the result on your top layer tells you very little about what the underneath will do — and on most coloured heads those two zones are several levels apart. Testing the darkest section shows you the burgundy end of the outcome, which is the one people are least prepared for and least happy to discover after the fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot the Right Fit If...\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot the right fit if you have a lightening service booked. Maria Nila is explicit that Colour Refresh should not be used before bleach, as the remaining pigment can cause discolouration during the lift. It is also not a blonde toner despite being violet — at this concentration it deposits visible purple rather than neutralising yellow, so Pearl Silver or Cool Cream are the correct products for cancelling brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShampoo, then towel-dry until damp.
