Who usually asks for this talk-track
Tone family guidance below is editorial only; a colorist will map it to your current level and porosity.
Editorial note: suitability depends on your starting level, undertone, porosity, and prior color. This is general community/editorial guidance, not a prescription.
How to ask your colorist
- “I’d like a Shades EQ gloss close to 07AA Turmeric.”
- “My target level talk-track is around level 7 with a auburn accent reflect.”
- “Can we strand-test first and adjust warmth after we see the undertone?”
Bring a few reference photos and say whether you want cooler, warmer, or more neutral than the photo. Your colorist may adjust with nearby chart neighbors rather than using 07AA alone.

FAQ
Is 07AA permanent hair color?
Shades EQ is typically positioned as a demi-permanent gloss/toner system in salon use. Longevity still varies with porosity, shampoo, and heat habits.
Can I buy the tube and do this at home?
Professional color is safest in trained hands. Misreading level or undertone is a common DIY failure mode. If you DIY anyway, follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly—we won’t invent ratios here.
What does the letter in 07AA mean?
On this chart, the letters after the level mark the tone family (for 07AA, that family is Auburn Accent). Letters are a map for pros, not a guarantee of the finished photo on your hair.
Where do these names come from?
Marketing names like “Turmeric” appear on the publicly downloadable Redken Shades EQ shade chart. Beauty Spire reorganized those facts into searchable pages.
