What corrective base should be used for orange hair?

  1. Violet

  2. Blue

  3. Yellow

  4. None

The correct answer is: Blue

A Violet is commonly used to neutralize yellow tones in hair. Since orange and yellow are warm shades, using a cool shade like violet would only intensify the warm tones. C: Yellow is a warm color and would not effectively neutralize the orange tones in hair. D: Using no corrective base would not address the underlying issue and the orange tones would likely remain. A corrective base is necessary to counteract the unwanted color. "
