The Dark Neutrals

The foundation of every refined brunette match

Bohyme color study palette for shades 1, 2, 4 and 6

From the clarity of jet black to the softness of golden brown, Bohyme’s dark neutral family offers four distinct levels of depth. Choosing the right shade means studying the natural hair—not simply selecting the darkest color on the chart.

Understanding depth in dark human hair extensions

Deep shades can appear remarkably similar in low light. Under soft daylight, however, their undertones become more apparent. Shade 1 is a true jet black; shade 2 provides a gentler dark brown; 4 and 6 introduce progressively brighter brunette depth. Bohyme offers different human-hair collections and construction methods, so select the appropriate quality tier and extension type before checking color availability.

Shade 1 — True Jet Black

The deepest shade in this study. Best considered when the natural hair reads black—not merely very dark brown—under neutral light.

Shade 2 — Deep Brown

A rich, balanced dark brown with a softer appearance than jet black. Compare against both the natural root depth and the ends.

Shade 4 — Medium Brown

A foundational medium-dark brunette that can work where deep brown hair shows a lighter, warmer reflection in daylight.

Shade 6 — Golden Brown

A visibly warmer brown suited to clients whose brunette lengths contain golden dimension rather than black-brown depth.

The goal is not to make dark hair look darker: it is to match the natural movement of color from root through ends.

The Bohyme Color Library

Confidence begins with the right color match.

A beautiful extension result begins with a thoughtful consultation. Compare depth, undertone, mid-lengths and ends in balanced light. Use a physical Bohyme Color Ring for the closest representation; screen images cannot guarantee an exact color match.

Frequently asked questions

Are the colors identical across all extension methods?

Availability varies between Bohyme collections, textures, lengths and application methods. Check the product's current color options before ordering.

Can I determine my exact shade online?

The images and shade descriptions are starting points. For professional matching, compare a physical sample against the natural hair in daylight and review the finished cut and placement.

Where should the extensions blend?

In most lengthening applications, the mid-lengths and ends deserve particular attention. The stylist can assess roots, highlights and layering as part of the full consultation.
