Frequently Asked Questions
Can ColourKey calculate a babylights formula from just a photo?
Yes. The AI reads base level (1–10), undertone, porosity and grey coverage from the photo and uses that to generate a toner formula tailored to the expected lifted result.
Which brands are supported for babylights toning?
Wella (Color Touch, Koleston), Redken (Shades EQ, Color Fusion), L'Oreal (Dia Richesse, INOA), Schwarzkopf (Igora Vibrance), La Biosthétique (Tint & Tone) and Goldwell (Colorance, Topchic).
Does it work for fine babylights versus chunkier pieces?
ColourKey adjusts the bowl size and saturation guidance based on hair density and the service type you select — fine section work requires different amounts than a full head.
How is this different from just guessing the formula?
ColourKey reads the actual underlying pigment in the photo — not just the visible colour. This means warmth exposure, porosity and the existing tone all factor into the formula rather than a generic starting point.
