Brunette Colordesign

ColorDesign's latest look goes to the birds.

The peacock’s colorful plumes were the driving force behind this fresh creation from ColorDesign artists Anthony DeFalco and Adel Shaw. A rich brunette hue transforms into red at the tips—an eye-catching display that’s meant to command the attention of onlookers in much the same way as the peacock captivates its flock. Here, the duo shares how to achieve the striking design.
