What can this tool do?
Not All Browns Are Equal — Find Yours First
A brown hair filter lets you preview different brown hair shades — from warm caramel to deep espresso — on your own photo before coloring, so you can find the exact shade that complements your skin tone without trial and error at the salon.
Chocolate and chestnut sound similar but look completely different on dark versus light skin tones. A caramel brown that glows on one person can appear flat on another. Instead of describing your ideal shade to a colorist and hoping for the best, preview each specific brown tone on your actual photo and walk in with a clear reference image.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between chestnut and chocolate brown?
Chestnut brown has warm, reddish undertones and typically appears brighter in light. Chocolate brown is deeper and richer with less red, giving a fuller, darker result.
Can I preview brown shades on already-colored hair?
Yes. The filter works on your current hair color regardless of what it is — natural or dyed — and shows how the selected brown shade would appear as a result.
Does the filter work if I have very light hair?
Yes. The preview is accurate across all starting hair colors, including light blonde, so you can see the transformation from light to dark brown clearly.
